What we do

Thanks to the unconditional support, our Foundation has completed three decades of helping transform the lives of hundreds of boys and girls who have been forced to live in the streets and find their way in these conditions. Our work covers the complete cycle that starts with psychosocial interventions with the children and adolescents in situations of abandonment or non-observance by the family and state, to their true social reintegration and follow up, all contributing to the requirements of the SDG’s in the context of fighting poverty and the reduction of inequalities.

Our purpose as an organization is to form happy children and adolescents, advocate for the compliance and guarantee of their rights and facilitate their transformation supporting the development of their skills that agency their future, all based on the identification of their dreams. Interdisciplinary care is offered from the areas of health, nutrition, psychology, social work and pedagogy, in order to intervene their situation in a personalized way and prepare them for their return into society.
