Our Ongoing Projects
The Refuge House in Belén
With the acquisition of The Refuge House in Belén in 2025—made possible through the generous support of a couple in Georgia—our mission evolved from temporary outreach to a lasting, rooted presence within the community. This pivotal step transformed how we serve, deepening our ability to build meaningful relationships and invest more intentionally in the lives of children and families.
Today, The Refuge House stands as a stable and accessible hub, strengthening our capacity to deliver consistent educational support, nutritional assistance, and spiritual formation. More than a facility, it is a place of belonging—where children are not only nourished, but guided; not only supported, but genuinely known and encouraged as they grow.
Remanente Kids Club
Remanente Kids Club is led by Anita Ana Marie Valles and a group of about 100 volunteers who are associated with the church Remanente de Dios.
This program targets 5 villages on the outskirts of Iquitos, along with the Santa Monica orphanage.
The children in this program are taught life skills along with conflict resolution strategies, through role play scenarios and one on one interactions with the groups volunteers. Leaders also work to develop personal relationships with the children's parents in order to keep track of their progress/behavior in school, and
at home. COVID-19 UPDATE: Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic volunteers have also been assisting students by teaching Math and English.
As the amount of supplies being delivered to Iquitos has dwindled, Operation Dignity has begun offering breakfast to students involved in this program.
This is the only meal many of them eat that day.
Camp Remanente
Camp Remanente is located in the city of Nauta off the Amazon River in Peru. The camp consists of 90 acres, which includes retreat buildings that are used for leadership training among the youth and adults in surrounding communities. Operation dignity assisted with building compound bathrooms and other structures on the property.
Values Club
The Values Clubs are one of the oldest and most foundational programs of RemanenteKids—marking the first initiative launched beyond the church and into the community. The program began in August 2014 in the Túpac Micaela area, establishing a model rooted in connection, trust, and real-world context.
Originally focused on sharing faith-based teachings, the program evolved in response to parent feedback. Rather than resist concerns, RemanenteKids chose to listen and adapt—shifting to a values and leadership-based curriculum. While still grounded in Christian principles, the program now respects and reflects the trust of families from diverse perspectives.
Today, Values Clubs serve as safe, consistent spaces where children and adolescents develop character, responsibility, respect, and a sense of purpose—strengthening not only their individual growth, but also their families and communities.
The program has expanded to three locations—Túpac–Micaela, Pradera–Villareal, and the lower zone of Belén—reaching more than 200 children each week. This growth reflects both community trust and a clear need for positive guidance in environments where stable role models are often limited.
More than numbers, the impact of Values Clubs lies in consistency—steadily shaping lives through principles that foster long-term personal and social transformation.
