Program

"The Villas of the Chiquiticos"

It is a safe temporary home for children, where they are offered protection and love, until they are reintegrated into a family.

Problem

Every minute, four minors are sexually abused in Latin America and Venezuela is no exception.

The risk of child abuse increases when children and adolescents live in contexts of extreme vulnerability. The current economic crisis that the country is going through has generated an increase in the difficulties of children and their families to access basic health services, nutrition, education, water, sanitation and hygiene and comprehensive protection.

Purpose

Provide a temporary home to children between newborns and nine years that have been victims of neglect, mistreatment and / or abuse until their family reintegration is achieved, either with a member of their original or substitute family.

Fundana acts in support of the National System of Integral Protection of boys, girls, and adolescents, as they refer the cases to us.
