In Puerto Libertad, a small town in Argentina’s Misiones region, families struggle to make ends meet with limited job opportunities, relying mostly on small-scale farming, fishing and informal work that barely covers daily needs.
Global Good Samaritans supports the Franciscan Fathers and local volunteers in Puerto Libertad who provide nourishing meals and safe after-school spaces for children from impoverished families. Despite limited resources, the community has created a support network rooted in care and solidarity.
Seven local families open their homes three times a week to host 20–30 children, providing a warm meal and a safe place to rest and play.
The Franciscan Fathers and local volunteers coordinate the purchase and delivery of food, while Global Good Samaritans funds the essential food supplies.
For many families in the Puerto Libertad community, even the most basic support is out of reach. Financial hardship, insufficient government help and extremely limited access to specialized services means that children with special needs face immense physical and developmental hurdles.
Children like Xiomara, Francisco and Zunilda, need treatment and specialized care to grow, develop, and maintain their health. Without support, families struggle alone, often traveling long distances to access services that still remain beyond their means.
Global Good Samaritans steps in to provide funding for vital medications, specialized nutrition, and hygiene products needed for daily care. We also cover the cost of therapy, medical treatment, and transportation to hospitals in larger cities where these services are available.
provides essential supplies for one family for a month
Guarani Indigenous communities live in remote regions of northern Argentina. These communities maintain a traditional way of life, living close to nature along river regions and preserving cultural heritage. They sustain themselves through small-scale agriculture, including crops such as yerba mate, beekeeping, basketry and woodcarving.
Working in partnership with Franciscan missionaries, who have established long-term relationships within these communities, Global Good Samaritans delivers monthly parcels containing food and other essential supplies.
For just $27, you can provide a month of essential food to a Guarani family in Argentina. We currently support 40 families through trusted local partnerships.
