ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice."

Human Rejection
The most vulnerable children are left behind in rejection and in dehumanizing circumstances because of their condition of Disabilities, Orphanhood and Extreme Poverty
Restoration of Dignity

Let’s embrace the children and develop their God-given infinite potential.
A human-connected child becomes a socialfunctional adult.
The Three Types of Needs
Each child has to overcome big challenges during their developmental stage; these challenges are way more difficult when they have a disability, face orphanhood, or live in extreme poverty in a third-world country. They suffer dehumanizing circumstances due to their conditions.
The three challenges are considerable but not impossible...
Sofía's Story
Sofía is a cute and enthusiastic 10-year-old girl. She is in the third grade and loves to participate the whole time during class. With the help of her mother, she sings and teaches new songs to her classmates.
When she was two years old, the family got involved in a car accident. It was a terrible situation since other family members got affected as well.
Unfortunately, little Sofía’s damage was the worst. She was traumatized in her head, which caused her to suffer brain atrophy and low vision.
Sofía started going to the Therapy and an adapted Educational program that we support in a partnership with Fundal.
Due to the pandemic, an innovative virtual platform has been created so she and her other peers can interact despite their inclusion needs (as students with deafblindness and multiple disabilities).
She is in a program designed according to the unique needs of each student with activities that promote meaningful learning.
Her entire family cares about her well-being. They have an established and structured routine at home, which has contributed to her progress in several developmental areas:
She has greater strength to support herself in the seated position concerning physical mobility. In communication, she uses an alternative communication system with pictures and objects to communicate her needs.
The three types of needs are met in Sofía's life.
