STREET CHILDREN are either orphans or children who have been turned out or abandoned by their parents. But most of them have run away from home. The boys and street girls flee from home abuse, beatings and misery they find in their families. But street life is not better; the children are more exposed to poverty, accidents, rapes, injuries, illnesses and even murder. It is so sad to see so many children on the streets, many die, violence and hunger are the main causes of these deaths.
HOPE FOR STREET CHILDREN. Our Mission is in working with the poor, oppressed, suffering Street Children and all abandoned children. Caputo Children´s Fund is committed to building long-term community benefits for the street children of Guatemala City. Humanitarian efforts are our vision is to bring relief to the street children and elderly people where it is needed most.
We accomplish this by rescuing them from the street and providing a safe Christian refuge where they can grow and learn. We also try to initiate community programs that help to protect and safeguard all children.

Fighting HIV Discrimination in Guatemala.
Located on a quiet, green lot just outside of Antigua, one of Guatemala's more bustling tourist centers, "Hospicio San Jose" is one of the few facilities in Guatemala to provide integral support to people living with HIV.
Just over 50 children live at the Hospicio, where they receive antiretroviral treatment paid for by the Guatemalan government.
The same doctor and health care workers that make sure the children take their medication, eat properly and are generally in good health also tend to more than 100 HIV-positive adults who visit the hospice on an outpatient basis every month. Hospicio San Jose's clinic fills in the gaps left by public hospitals around the city, which will only see patients once every three months.
JUST A MIRACLE
Take a good look at this adorable child. Precious little Diana is just one of
dozens of children and adults living at the San Jose Hospice in the town of San Lucas, just outside of Guatemala City.
Diana's doctor who works at the hospice told, "We found out she was thrown in the garbage. Some fireman found her and brought her here. When I came here, she was about 1 month old. She was very sick. Her development and her body were abnormal.
And then I started to work with her. I started her on the proper exercises and medicine. And then she started growing, growing, growing and laughing. She was crying all the time. Then about five months ago she started to walk. She started to laugh. She started to eat."

| The Problem |
The national resources, economics as well as in technology, are more HEALING THE CHILDREN NE, is the International Agency that since 7 years has being managing and coordinating the surgeries of Delmy Alejandra in United States . Thanks to them, (especially Faye Barry), the doctors and staff of the hospital, Delmy is recovering, because due to her problem , she's being a shy girl but very smart, sweet, studious and brave, as she has accepted her situation with great fortitude. The capacity installation in the Bloom Hospital allows only two surgeries by week (less than 100 surgeries in a year and with the support of the International Medical Expeditions, they can make at least 150) reason why the waiting list is growing every single day, at this moment there are approximately 300 children in a waiting list, plus those that can not go there because they can not have the surgery here in the country. To all the people and institutions that have been a great help to our children and always contribute with us in order to give them a Gift of Life!
