Why your gift is in good hands
Public goals
We publish the annual target for every program and the real progress each quarter, including the quarters we fall short.
Child safeguarding
Background checks, a two-adult rule, and a reporting channel that answers within 72 hours.
78% to direct care
Of every dollar, 78 cents go to brigades, counseling, food and materials.
Three cities, one protection pathway
🇪🇨 Ecuador
Quito
Running since 2018 · relaunched in 2026
From Quito we run school workshops, counseling for survivors and the public campaigns that put child protection on the national conversation.
🇻🇪 Venezuela
Valera
Opening 2026
Valera, in Trujillo state, opens as our Andean base, serving children left vulnerable by migration, malnutrition and violence at home.
The problem, in numbers
Active programs
Prevention program
Protective Adult
What if every child had an adult who knew what to do?
A six-session course that teaches parents, teachers and caregivers to spot the warning signs of abuse, respond without re-traumatizing the child, and follow the reporting process to the end.
Direct care program
Shungo Heart
Medical, nutritional and mental health care for children
«Shungo» means heart in Kichwa, an Indigenous language of Ecuador — it also stands for tenderness and love. The program delivers integrated care to children living in vulnerable conditions.
Communications campaign
Todo Posi
A mental health campaign made with teenagers, not about them
A campaign that turns the conversation about violence into an everyday practice of care, built together with the teenagers it speaks to.
Art therapy program
Art Therapy
Art as a way in, when words are not there yet
Workshops that use performing arts, visual art and music to identify, treat and prevent psychological trauma in children.
Research and advocacy
Child pregnancy: zero tolerance
A pregnant ten-year-old is a crime scene, not a statistic
Open data, legal support and newsroom training on pregnancy in girls under 14, which the law treats as what it is: the consequence of sexual violence.
Miami collects · Ecuador and Venezuela receive
The Miami donation center is the logistical heart of the reopening: it takes in donated goods, volunteers sort them, and they ship to Quito and Valera. Whatever cannot be shipped is sold, and that pays the freight for everything else.
01
Intake
Every drop-off is logged by donor, type and weight. You get your tax receipt on the spot.
02
Sorting
Volunteers split everything three ways: shipment, resale, or responsible recycling.
03
Consolidation
Pallets by destination, valued inventory and donation paperwork.
04
Shipping
Air or ocean freight out of Miami to Ecuador, and to Venezuela through local partners.
