The Chimbote Foundation’s Mission
The Chimbote Foundation was created to provide a bridge of love, hope, faith and financial support to care for the poorest of the poor in Chimbote through the Center for Social Works – a maternity hospital, outpatient clinic, clinical laboratory, pharmacy and home for abandoned and neglected children – serving hundreds of thousands since the mid-1960s.

WEEKLY PRAYER REFLECTION
“While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
— Luke 2:6-7
Jesus, with gratitude we thank You for La Maternidad de Maria which offers women, who have nowhere else to turn, a safe and clean place to give birth. We thank You for the beautiful gift of life in the 100,000+ babies born here more than fifty years since its founding.
