Graine d’Affection, Ecuador
Shelter and Care for Vulnerable
Children
Graine d'Affection, a
Geneva-based NGO, supports and promotes Ecuadorian associations
focusing on children in need of care and protection. The Trafigura
Foundation donation to Graine d'Affection in 2008 enabled them to
support "Nuestro Hogar" ("Our Home"), a child care centre for very
young children, orphans, rejected or abandoned by their family, in
Pifo, close to the capital Quito.
Beyond caring for the kids living
in the child centre, Nuestro Hogar also works either preventively
when there is a risk of child abandonment, either as a follow-up
when family reunification was possible, with the family itself,
providing regular support and guidance.
The Foundation has pledged
support to this project until 2011.
