About the Foundation
The Founders
On July 16, 1966, Mr. Henry and Dorothy Davis, being a very young couple, arrived in our country as missionaries with the task of starting churches. But the true passion and burden that they felt was for orphaned and abandoned children. On an August day in 1967, while they were visiting the García Moreno Prison in Quito, Henry noticed that the prisoners' children were living on the streets outside the prison. This moved him deeply, and the next day he returned to the prison and asked the director if he could take responsibility of the kids so he could offer them food and shelter and ultimately hope for the future. Thus began a great work of faith based on love.
Our Mission
We are an organization that instills, promotes and strengthens Christian values and principles through the execution of programs that provide abundant care and comprehensive development to children.
Our Vision
We aspire for our programs to be a national and international example for how to provide care and development of abandoned, needy, and traumatized children.
We desire to nurture the spiritual life in our children and adolescents and equip them to deal with the challenges and blessings of life.
Our Purpose
Provide basic care such as food, shelter, and education; our ultimate goal is to transform the child through building a foundation built on the love and knowledge of Jesus Christ so he or she can become a productive member of society. We pray that the children we have in our hands today will be the future spiritual leaders our country so desperately needs.
