Since 2006, the Children of Pure Heart Foundation has been a beacon of hope, providing food and medical care to numerous boys and girls. Yet, our mission goes beyond these essential services. We are determined to break the cycle of poverty.
Since 2006, the Children of Pure Heart Foundation has been a beacon of hope, providing food and medical care to numerous boys and girls. Yet, our mission goes beyond these essential services. We are determined to break the cycle of poverty.
Our goal is to establish a school that offers an American-style educational program. This school will provide children with the opportunity to develop their skills, learn moral and Christian values, and reach their full potential in arts, music, and sports. We want to build an educational unit with Christian and human values, ecological awareness and community value.
To fulfill these objectives our educational unit is named Saint Mary of the Angels Academy, in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. We place under the patronage of the ever Virgin Mary our children and young people who are like the angels of heaven, messengers of good news.
In Ecuador, as in many Latin American countries, attending school is a luxury that few can afford. The costs of books, uniforms, shoes, and school supplies, along with transportation, are prohibitive for many families. Sadly, many children cannot attend school because they lack a pair of shoes or money for basic supplies like pencils and notebooks. At a young age, they are burdened with the responsibility of contributing to the family economy, either by working or begging.
The lack of opportunities leads many young people to fall victim to drugs, gangs, and criminal activities. This dire situation has driven numerous parents to risk their lives and the lives of their children in the perilous journey of migration.
