Mission

Supporting charitable institutions dedicated to helping orphans and adoptive families

La Casa Friends' mission is to advocate and support children and adolescents in Colombia with vulnerable conditions who have been removed from their biological homes and are under government protection. We work closely with La Casa de la Madre y el Niño (founded in 1942 in Colombia) and promote the need to support more than 74,000 children in Colombia who are victims of sexual, physical, and psychological abuse and neglect. La Casa Friends does fundraising and participates in events, social media, speaking opportunities, communication, and marketing campaigns that contribute to transforming their lives.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Thanks to our efforts, we identified donors to support La Casa's primary needs in Colombia. We are contributing to a hosting program where special needs children from Colombia come for 5-6 weeks; these children are aging up in the system without the opportunity to grow with the love of a family. Thanks to this program, they find families who, after they meet them and spend time together, decide to adopt them. They go back to Colombia while the Department of State approves the petition that a US citizen makes to process adopting a child from Colombia, a Hague Convention country. We also made fundraising efforts to raise sums for renovating the home of the orphans who are in Colombia waiting to be adopted or reunified with their biological families. These are victims of sexual and physical abuse, abandonment, and neglect. There are 450 children on average in this home that benefit from our effort.$2,884$134,179
