All giants were once small
How we’ve grown over time
The Beginning, 2011
Sonja Bautista relocated to Cobano to dedicate her resources to feeding over 100 children and single mothers in poverty.
First House, 2017
Opening a first temporary place allowed kids to benefit from additional help on top of access to healthy food.
New Vision, 2020
In collaboration with architect Patrick Rey and with the participation of prominent entrepreneurs and philanthropists, we envisioned an ecovillage for children as a place of hope. A space that weaves together diverse human experiences and beliefs in an organic home that fosters a healing connection with nature, a sense of belonging to a community, and confidence in personal endeavors.
More Land, 2022
With the help of Marcelo Valansi, Canel Frichet acquired 5.2 hectares of undeveloped land with a river in Cóbano. This was the first step in realizing our vision and represents a space large enough to build and expand the project.
Fruit Forest & Vegetable Garden, 2023
More than 2,000 trees were planted, including hundreds of fruit trees, contributing to child nutrition and environmental awareness. Food production ensures a healthy diet and reduces operating costs.
