Medical care

We look after their health

A pediatrician visits the Home every week, providing medical care and regular checkups to monitor the children's health. Every child is up to date on vaccinations and receives hospital care, public or private, depending on each child's needs and the institution's resources.

Education

Learning is growing too

Most children who arrive at the Home have never attended school, which has affected their intellectual development. From age 4, girls and boys receive private distance education: we have classrooms and teachers who run the school program from January to October every year.

Healing and support

We care for children who have experienced orphanhood, abandonment and abuse, so timely psychological support is a priority: it fosters their social and emotional development, improves their quality of life and reduces the impact of their traumatic experiences.

Through Social Work we run human rights training programs to raise awareness among staff, children and their families.

Every act of care counts. Every opportunity transforms.
