Good Neighbors initiated its intervention in Paraguay by launching a project aimed at supporting vulnerable adolescents in San Lorenzo with vocational training at the Pedagogical Coexistence Center, in collaboration with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). Building on this foundation, Good Neighbors Paraguay was established in 2017, dedicated to aligning with Good Neighbors’ mission and values. The organization has since expanded its efforts in the country, implementing a variety of community development projects and initiatives designed to promote and protect the rights of children and adolescents.
Today, we implement five community development projects in Areguá, San Lorenzo, Mariano Roque Alonso, Puerto Antequera (San Pedro), and Eusebio Ayala (Cordillera). Our programs focus on key areas including education, water and sanitation, food security and nutrition, promotion of children and adolescents’ rights, economic empowerment, inclusive communities, sustainable environment, and emergency aid. Through these efforts, we have positively impacted the lives of over 7,000 boys, girls, and adolescents across these communities.
Good Neighbors Paraguay is dedicated to the sustainable development of the communities where we operate. We focus on promoting the rights and well-being of children and adolescents through programs in education, health, water and sanitation, environment, food security, child protection, economic empowerment, and disaster protection.
We improve the quality of life and promote child rights: This includes improving quality on child rights fulfillment in the community, protection from violence among children in the supported community, access to quality education among children in the community, and health status of children in the community.
We reduce inequality and foster resilience in local communities: This includes increasing well-being of families in the community, strengthening risk management committees for emergency prevention in local governments, enhancing policy making on agendas relating with Good Neighbors Paraguay’s program.
