Safe and secure spaces for our children

Good afternoon to all our donors, and above all, thank you. Over the past three months, at the foundation, in our efforts to keep our facilities in the best condition for the children, we have worked on all the gardens and trimmed the grass.

In the meeting house where the children gather with their families, we have completely repainted it, and on the walls we created drawings that represent family and well-being.

Likewise, in the kitchen we have improved the entire process of organizing the pantry where all the food is stored.

We are also working on the entrance, which needs to be rebuilt with a reinforced concrete slab because it is sinking. This is a major engineering project, and we are currently raising funds to complete it.

80 children under protection reside at Fundación CRAN each year while efforts are made to restore their right to have a loving and caring family.
Our goal is to provide them with a safe and welcoming environment where they can live temporarily while their legal situation is resolved, ensuring their well-being and comprehensive development.
