Your Donations Support These Projects
As a registered charity, Pueblito relies on the generosity of Canadians to carry out our important work with children in Latin America . Each year, individuals, churches, foundations, corporations, schools and groups of concerned citizens from across the country recognize the importance of our work and provide us with financial support. Thanks to these donors, we will continue to help improve the lives of thousands of children and their families in Latin America .
Each dollar you give is tax deductible and is tripled in matching grants from CIDA, the Canadian International Development Agency.

In Mexico .
The Program, Circus Machincuepa , operating in Mexico City with local partner CEJUV and supported by the Cirque du Soleil, is based on using circus arts as an intervention for youth at risk. This Program offers youth a positive personal experience that will serve as a catalyst in building self-esteem and a sense of identity.
In Brazil .
Pueblito, in conjunction with local partner MLPC and Ryerson University introduced its Art and Education Program that focused on the development of quality daycare programs with emphasis on children aged 0-3 where resources were most lacking, based on providing training for day care workers in early childhood education with emphasis on the understanding of children as individuals with needs and rights. The most recent program, Through the Eyes of Children , will focus on multiplying the training of the completed Art and Education Project to 20 new community crèches while professionally supporting the implementation of the previous training in the original 21 crèches.
In Nicaragua.
Pueblito's ¡Art Works! Program operates in the rural region of Estelí, which is one of the poorest regions in Nicaragua , across an area of approximately 800 km 2 with a population of approximately 200,000 and reaching 100 communities. Pueblito has worked with local partner, FUNARTE, to develop and implement an arts-based approach to quality preschool education designed to use creativity as a tool in children's development. It features an artistic process that is applied to help young children develop self-esteem and social skills as well as encourage the creative use of recyclable and natural materials found readily in the local environment.
