The dreams are theirs; our commitment is to stand by their side.
We keep moving forward, project by project, for children in Haiti.
‘Lucia's Children’
From our home and school in Anse-à-Pitres, in southeastern Haiti, we work tirelessly for children's rights. At AYMY, boys and girls who come from situations of extreme vulnerability find a place to live, learn and grow in a safe environment, with dignity and hope.
About Haiti
Haiti is going through a major humanitarian crisis, widespread violence and the collapse of its essential services. And the reality is that almost no one seems to care.
About AYMY
AYMY was symbolically born the night Lucía felt, after understanding the reality faced by the children she met on the streets of Pedernales, that she could not abandon them.

THE HOME
Our care centre provides children with a safe environment free from violence, balanced nutrition, and health supervision in a family atmosphere full of emotional support.
THE SCHOOL
At AYMY school, we welcome children with educational delays. For this reason, we follow a school programme of two courses per year, in order to facilitate children's integration into vocational training and/or higher education.
We Are Not Alone
AYMY would not be possible without the support of committed organizations and individuals who believe in our project and help us make it grow.
We Are Transparent
We want you to get to know us better, to share with you every step we take and how we use every euro we receive.
Lucia's Children
This documentary was a wonderful gift that we want to share with you. In it, you'll understand what AYMY is and why, despite a thousand challenges, we're still here.
Annual Reports
Although a year cannot be described with numbers alone, they are essential to understand the impact of what we do every day.
