The Transition House
A home with clear rules, shared work and people who care.
Who it is for
Young men aged 18 to 20 who are leaving a care center in Cochabamba and want to learn. The house is a season of preparation, not a permanent home.
About six months, in three stages
Settle in and learn
The academies, a job search, house routines and practical skills like cooking and budgeting.
Plan and stabilize
A personal life plan, steady work or study, and savings for the move.
Move out, stay connected
We help them find their own place and keep in touch through follow-up and our church.
What we ask of each young man
- Cook, clean and help run the house
- Share the cost of utilities, based on what he earns
- Weekly check-ins and discipleship with a mentor
- Work, study or training every day
- Sunday worship with our house church
