EMANA - A Ministry for Andean Youth
Methodist Church of Chile
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke EMANA's mission is to contribute to the development of the Andean communities in order for the people to live more abundant and dignified lives in accordance with what the Creator wants for all of His children. |
The Methodist Extension to Andean Youth (EMANA) was created in 1988 with the purpose of facing the massive migration of the Aymara people to the cities of northern Chile. (People who migrate, principally for economic reasons, encounter an environment of discrimination and lack of opportunities due in large part to the low academic and technical preparation for developing a job with adequate pay. As the so-called "belts of poverty" increase, these migrants are incorporated into the problems encountered in metropolitan areas; drug addiction, alcoholism, prostitution, etc.) |
