We build orphanages for abused, orphaned, and abandoned children in Latin America.
We have more than 4000 children in the "villas" that are internally displaced (desplazados) from the guerrilla conflict over the past 10 years. They are hungry and often naked. (Villa Jimenez, Monteria, Colombia)
Join us on a 13 day expedition to Otavalo, Ibarra, Quito, and the Galapagos Islands. (Chloe, from Idaho, on an isolated beach. San Cristobal Island, the Galapagos)
Help your school sponsor a Drop-in Center or individual children. It takes so little to feed and send a child to school everyday. We can help do your assembly!
Some estimates put the number as high as 40 million in Latin America, the highest of any region in the world. (This boy is in Barranquilla, Colombia)
This year a major campaign is underway for the displaced children in Monteria.
Adoptions are one of our four goals in our strategic plan.
In 2012, we plan to open our Ibarra Drop-in Center for refugee and at-risk children. Donate for construction and equipment costs.
It costs just $37 per month to feed, bathe, and clothe a child at one of our Drop-In Centers. There are many on the street still because we have no sponsors (Espinal Drop-In Center, Espinal, Tolima, Colombia)
In-Kind donations of hygiene, school, first aid, and newborn kits are always needed. See our Kit page for project ideas (Little girls, Patacancha, Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru)
During expeditions and other occasions, we do training for indigenous populations for care of their newborn and toddlers (New mothers of Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca, Peru)
