Our Vision and Purpose

For 20 years, the Project for the People of Paraguay (PPP) has  been transforming lives through the development of programs that empower and enable persons  to take control of their lives through on-going and long-term education support.  Programs such as Child Sponsorship, Women of Dignity Program, Dignity Village Farm, Continuing Education Scholarships, and Housing and Relocation opportunities have taught individuals a wide variety of skills to support themselves.

The main purpose of the PPP  is to help the poor of Paraguay move from poverty to independence by implementing and/or supporting self-help, self-development programs that involve the family and their communities.

The PPP emphasizes the care of the total person by meeting the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of poor families.  The PPP commits to help people embrace a strong personal faith, to lead productive lives, and to create healthy families and communities.

It is the vision of the Project for the People of Paraguay to sustain a long term commitment to the poor of Paraguay by collaborating with religious and nonsectarian persons, groups and organizations that are involved in programs and projects of good will that help restore and preserve the dignity of those being served.
