About Siloam
Siloam started in 1997 as a Children’s Rehabilitation Center in a house where children received care. Siloam acquires a lot of the land and buildings it surrounds which makes it possible for expansion for future projects.
What we do
Siloam Curaçao consists mainly of the Children’s Care Pavilion, which is the primary part of our focus. In addition, Siloam also wants to serve their environment by helping people in need with food, clothing and other necessities. Robert and Durkje de Vries work together with various volunteers to spread the love of God on Curaçao.
Children's Care Pavilion
The Children's Care Pavilion is the main focus of Siloam Curaçao. We help terminally ill children and their families cope with the demands of a serious illness. Each one of these children are special and we are proud to be apart of their lives and the fact that we get to share in their journey is a blessing. Everyone one at Siloam cares very deeply about "our children" and want to provide them with a loving, caring, nurturing home full of love and grace.
The Siloam kitchen
For years we had a desire to have a new kitchen to prepare hot meals for people in great need. We saw a lot of need among the elderly, chronically ill people and single-parent families with many children. People who couldn’t make a hot meal every day.
In the spring of 2019 someone came by and asked us what our greatest desire was for Siloam and we told him what we want. The person emailed us a week later that he wanted to build a kitchen for us.
April 2020 there was a great new kitchen and what no one expected then the corona broke out. Before we knew it, we were making 200 meals a day. More people needed help and we started making meals commissioned by the government for other people in need.
From May 20 to September 30, 2021 we made 675 meals a day. We were also able to give 10 people, who were out of a job, work a job in the kitchen. Since October 1, 2021, we have been making 525 meals a day.
