The Pisingos Story:
A Story of Love

Fifty‑six years ago, a group of families—moved by the effects of poverty and inequality on the childhood of vulnerable communities—decided to take action, giving life to the Los Pisingos Foundation with the purpose of transforming realities through the protection and adoption of children.

Over the past decade, we have expanded to more than 20 programs aimed at preventing and repairing harm caused by various forms of violence and at protecting the rights of children and adolescents in vulnerable situations. As a result, we have focused our work on two main pillars: prevention and intervention. These include psychological care, occupational and speech therapy, educational workshops, and family‑strengthening programs.

Our care model is grounded in affection, respect, and the defense of rights, addressing each process comprehensively to encompass all the child’s psycho‑emotional dimensions. In every case, we leave a mark of empathy and love.
