Around 207 children mostly black and half-breed, with ages ranging between 0 and 15 years are served by the Foundation Honrar La Vida, space that seeks to satisfy 70% necessities of their life and development such as health, education, training, recreation, culture and nutrition.

Children who attend the center have in common that are vulnerable and at risk for being in the midst of alcoholism, abuse, migration and poverty.

For them childhood is raw and brutally different than the ideal we all aspire. Poverty denies their dignity, endangers their lives and limits their potential ...

Cases:

Francisca* is a beautiful two year old girl, who attends daily to the area called Little Bears, of the "Fundación Honrar La Vida". Her family is economically disadvantaged. Her dad is an alcoholic, and has abused both physically and psychologically her mother, a situation that Francisca sees daily. The girl's personal cleanliness is neglected and additionally is allergic to dust and strong odors of chemicals.

Children with histories like these ones, and even worse ones, come daily to "Fundación Honrar La Vida", a place where children from the Jaime Roldós neighborhood find a refuge, and the opportunity to look for a better future.

Thanks for joining this crusade for a decent life and opportunities!
