Celebrating a Decade of Service at Fundación Corazón de Niña Melissa Canez - Corazón de Niña
July 31, 2022

We’ve spent the past 10 years:

  • Providing an inclusive stable home environment for children and youth of all ages with access to all levels of education, medical, physical and psychological attention, recreation and English language training.

  • Building self-esteem through moral, academic and emotional support in a permanent family environment.

  • Creating strong, independent, successful young women and men - active members of society - by providing access to post-secondary training/education and the love and support necessary to succeed socially, academically and spiritually, hence changing the cycle.

These are our results...
