Planting the seeds of success

Changing Thirsty Lives is dedicated to providing activities, support and education to children in poverty. But more than that, we are focused on changing the lives of children by giving them hope. We plant the seeds for success, one child at a time.

Changing Thirsty Lives provides after-school activities, academic support, recreational activities, Christian education, and meets basic needs for children and families to develop their gifts, skills and abilities so that they may succeed in the environment in which they live.

Casa Cristiana Leandra serves children in extreme need in the city of Consuelo in the Dominican Republic. We provide Christian education, clothing and care to children, young people and their families.

Changing Thirsty Lives serves Hispanic youth from low-income families in the Burton Heights area of Grand Rapids, Michigan with organized baseball, basketball and other activities.
