Since 1983, the María Ayuda foundation operates to promote the dignity of abandoned girls and boys as well as their families, selecting and educating them. The foundation strives to be the instrument to achieve the healing of the incurred wounds, with others and the help of God. María Ayuda wants to help them growth as free, responsible and solidary persons.

In reaching this goal, with the help of Virgin Mary through the Sanctuary of Schoenstat and based on the spirituality and pedagogue of Father José Kentenich, the foundation has achieved consolidating eight social programmes. We invite you to get to know the work of María Ayuda. If you following the link on the right you will gain access to the website.

We got to learn about María Ayuda through the ambassy and by searching the internet. This way we found that they have been fighting for abused, abonded and mistreated girls. It's this group of children that the founder of the organization, Padre Hernan Allesandri, wants to help in the home situation, involving their families, providing education and shelter and so on. He thinks it's important to care for the mothers of the future and points out that a stable family is a valuable condition in achieving this. Over the years María Ayuda also focused on abused children in general, a project named Acógeme.

Vision

"To be a constituted leader in the fight against child abandonment, abuse, and violence with an emphasis on girls and their families."
