In this 2026, we have continued strengthening our intervention model aimed at restoring rights and creating more stable life trajectories for children who have experienced situations of vulnerability.
As always, our approach is based on comprehensive support in residential care, and also sustained work with families, understanding that the protection and development of children requires strengthening family bonds and caregiving capacities within their immediate environment.
During this year, we have showed our model to the government, other foundations and child care experts and we are working on replicating all our experience to other institutions through our systematization model .
In the educational field, we continued strengthening a comprehensive educational proposal for the children living in our residences. We are also working with the children who have already left our residences, always
emphasizing habit formation, socio-emotional development, and the promotion of universal values such as respect, responsibility, and empathy. These pillars are essential for the personal development of children and for building life trajectories with greater autonomy and opportunities.
We keep strengthening family support through the Guadalupe Acompaña program. This program seeks to sustain support processes for families before, during, and after residential care, promoting stable family bonds and preventing children from re-entering the protection system.
.
Based on the experience accumulated over the years, we have been working with the opening of a second residential home. Some donors are buying 3 small houses for this purpose. This new space seeks to expand our capacity to provide care and continue deepening a care model that places quality of attention, emotional bonding, and comprehensive support for each child at its center.
We are very grateful with all our donors worldwide and we will continue searching for funds to make our work possible.
