Partnering with national churches, FAARO provides family feeding kitchens, works with children living in shanty towns, and ministers to mothers and their children (ages four and under) in prison. FAARO helped one church in a shantytown to purchase its building and sponsored a yearly “Backpack to School” program to provide school supplies to needy children. This year FAARO has brought hope to disadvantaged families in northern Argentina by working alongside another church to inaugurate a free dental clinic.
