About Pneuma
Training for independence
Why Pneuma exists
In Bolivia, young people who grow up in care centers must leave at 18. Most have no family to help them find work, a place to live or a next step.
After years of institutional routine, many have never made a budget, cooked for themselves or looked for a job. Pneuma gives them a place to practice these things, in a real home, before they are on their own.
What we believe
Love is the starting point, but it is not enough by itself. Young people also need structure, practical skills and purpose. We ask a lot of the young men, and we walk with them while they learn.
Who we are
Pneuma Ministries, Inc. is a Christian nonprofit, registered in California as a 501(c)(3), that works in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The transition house opened in November 2023.
