Where do the funds go? We are raising funds for Centro Shama. A non-profit Christian organization based in Lima, Peru. They’re dedicated to helping children found living on the streets through education, healthcare, and rehabilitation. Founded on June 29, 1999, by Frances Davinson, the organization aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment for these children who have been orphaned or abandoned. It is a sad truth that there are still many children who get addicted to drugs before they are even teenagers, as they struggle to survive on their own. The founders of Inspire Life Church have seen first hand the difference Centro Shama is making to these children’s lives as they are given new a chance at living. All funds are used for food, shelter, medical costs and education so that these children can not only grow up, but so that they may thrive. Click here to learn more about Centro Shama
