CURRENT NEEDS
Property
Our biggest need is to have a property that is owned by the organization. At the moment we are renting a space that we consider the beginning of this beautiful project.
Honorariums
We are constantly procuring funds to pay honorariums to the professionals and the long-term team who are committed to caring for the children in our program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the legal status of the organization?
As of December 2021, it has been a year since we began the first phase of rehabilitation on the building we are renting. Through the course of this initial stage, we’ve been able to welcome minors who are in the care of their mothers and who have entered the program voluntarily. We still find ourselves waiting for approval on our official documents to proceed with arrangements and receive operating permits in order to receive unaccompanied minors.
