ACTIVISM

claudia colimoro, activist

Years before the foundation of the Home, Claudia provided support to HIV patients in addition to promoting the right to health of sex workers and their children, in different parts of the city. A hopeless panorama of adolescents at risk led her to consider a Home as a possibility to remove girls from the streets.

A SAFE REFUGE

THE INITIAL FLAME

When Claudia opened her doors to three young girls who were homeless. He never imagined that at the end of the month he would already have 10 teenagers in his home. All with a context of violence, abuse or teenage pregnancy. The tin house on Berriozabal Street became a safe place and the word spread. Our home was able to provide food and shelter, thanks to the support of close friends and philanthropists who decided to accompany Claudia on this mission.
OUR STORY BEGINS:

A shared dream

30 years and more than 6,000 life stories have passed through our doors. There was a transformation of that dream towards professionalization, growing alongside a great team of therapists, social workers, teachers, volunteers and instructors. This year 2024 we have been recognized as one of the institutions with the best results according to the Filantrofilia evaluation.
