Day Centre, Karosta, Liepaja

The Day Centre is a Christian after-school program in Karosta, a community adjacent to Liepaja, offering a safe, clean, and warm environment where the children can come and rest after a long day at school or find refuge and comfort when their parents have left them alone to wander the streets. Children are provided a warm meal, tutoring and mentoring, and get to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities throughout the year.

Orphan Outreach has partnered with the Day Centre since 2010 to ensure the children receive nutritious meals each day. For many of these children, the meals at the Day Centre are their primary source of nourishment. Sponsorships provide the necessary financial support of each child, and mission teams help with mentoring and evangelical outreach programs in the community.
