In Ecuador, as in many Latin American countries, attending school is a luxury that very few have access to.  Attending school requires buying books, uniforms, shoes, and school supplies, not counting transportation.  Sadly many children don’t go to school because they don’t have a pair of shoes or because they don’t have money to buy pencils and a notebook. Many children, at their early age, have to worry about contributing to the family economy either by working or begging.

Due to lack of opportunities, our young people end up being victims of drugs, recruited by gangs, and forced to commit crimes.

This situation has caused numerous parents to risk their lives and the lives of their children and undertaking the long journey of migration.

What can we do?

For more than 17 years, the Puro Corazón Foundation has helped. We have provided food and medical care for many boys and girls; however, there is more we are called to do to break the cycle of poverty.

Our goal is to build a school with the American style educational program where children  have the opportunity to develop their skills, learn moral and Christian values, and achieve their potential in arts, music and sports.

In a world full of unfairness, we want to bring HOPE

and OPPORTUNITY!

Everything Started as a Dream

We wanted to make a difference in the lives of so many children and families.  It has been a difficult  journey with struggles and hard work; but also a road with many satisfactions.  We are blessed because The Foundation Children of Pure Heart has given each one of us the opportunity to serve unconditionally, to grow spiritually and to make the difference in our lives and the lives of those we have touched.

There is a growing population of abandoned children who, in most cases, come from poor and/or indigenous families.  Unfortunately, if these kids are not rescued on time, they are inevitably destined to living on the streets and therefore, being innocent victims of homelessness, starvation, crimes and even death at a young age.
