Our impact
What do we believe in?
- In the family as the optimal and ideal environment in which every child should grow, receive love and security. We believe in their parental and caring abilities and other resources to accompany their children.
- In that accompaniment and trust-based relationships with families facilitate the sustainability of changes and decrease the possibility that children will be separated again.
- In the collaborative and articulated work of teams of professionals, caregivers, sectors and services so that the time spent by children in an environment such as Chiquitines is increasingly reduced.
- During the children's time at FC, they will be surrounded as much as possible by adults who are sensitive, aware and attentive to their needs.
