Jovencitas is an all-girls orphanage. Many of the
girls come from broken homes and have lived
life on the street. Many have suffered drug and sexual
abuse, as well as emotional and mental maltreatment. They
are taught the teachings of Christ and an informal
12-step program to help the girls work on their past
mistakes, forgive wrongs done to them and develop skills
in order to lead productive lives upon leaving the
orphanage.
Jovencitas is run by Maricruz Rios Rdz., a
strict, caring, and wonderful Christian woman. Maricruz
would like to start construction on the new orphanage
April 2006.
