According to statistics from local community clinics there are 75% of the babies below the age of 2 years are malnourished. Malnutrition also leaves these little ones prone to diseases such as diarrhea and tuberculosis.
Nutritional Daycare seeks to restore to health the seriously malnourished children of the Smokey Mountain community. The Daycare program also attends to children’s nutritional needs by providing training to the mothers. The day care center staff also provides emotional support through prayer and counseling for the children’s parents.

Student Sponsorhip
Student Sponsorship Ministry seeks to alleviate the redundant cycle of poverty by providing an opportunity for an education through sponsorship. The sponsorships are provided to students who are motivated to attain an education but do not have the means to pursue this dream. We do not see that poverty is the lack of money but the lack of knowledge. Through education we have been able to see generations of poverty in peoples lives broken. We can determine the future of our childrens lifes today by the education they are given. Most of the children of Smokey Mountain are not given the opportunity to attend school. You can take part in a childs future through the ministry of YWAM balut by sponsoring a child through elementary school for 90 US dollars a year. Highschool is 120 US dollars. You can send a student to college for 500 US dollars a year. Presently YWAM Balut is sending 650 children to school in 22 locations in the Philippines. These are children who would not normally be given the opportunity to attend school. Presently we have 56 children who do not have sponsors.
