Who are We?
Fundación Casa de los Niños is a non-profit organization that provides support and care to children and families in vulnerable situations, especially those affected by HIV/AIDS, children with motor disabilities, autism and in situations of abandonment.

How was the organization born?

The organization was founded in Cochabamba as a response to the need to provide school support to children affected by HIV/AIDS through the “Escuelitas de Paz” project in 1993. In 2007 we acquired our own infrastructure and obtained legal status, which allowed us to expand our work with a focus on values and community support.
