Caras Alegres was founded in 2004 through the dedicated efforts of two volunteers, Judith Bank and Marcel Van Der Geest. Their journey began in Canton Xeul, where they embarked on a volunteer mission and discovered a community teeming with opportunities to support children in need. Recognizing the pressing need for safe spaces for children, they established a modest daycare center, providing a nurturing environment where children could thrive.

 

Since its inception, Caras Alegres has expanded its initiatives significantly, becoming a cornerstone of positive change in the community. Beyond daycare services, our organization has implemented a range of impactful projects aimed at enhancing the lives of children. These initiatives encompass educational support, health and nutrition programs, and community engagement activities that empower both children and their families.

 

At Caras Alegres, we believe in the transformative power of education and compassion. Through our holistic approach, we strive not only to meet immediate needs but also to foster long-term resilience and opportunities for the children we serve. Our ongoing commitment to the community of Las Rosas is a testament to the enduring impact that dedicated volunteers and supporters can achieve together.

 

Join us in our mission to create brighter futures for children, one initiative at a time. Together, we can continue to make a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most.
