FANA

Over thirty-two years ago, Mercedes de Martinez, the Director and Founder of FANA (the Spanish acronym for the Foundation for the Assistance of Abandoned Children) opened her heart and home to give abandoned children a chance at a fulfilling and healthy life. After three decades of work, dedication and love, FANA today has a modern facility with up-to-date medical care, staff and equipment capable of caring for 150 children.

FANA is also able to offer prenatal and delivery services to any birth mother in need. Any child who is placed for adoption is cared for in a new born intensive care facility under the supervision of full-time physicians and medical personnel.

Because of FANA, over 10,000 children have found nurturing homes with fine families all over the world. In Western New York and Pennsylvania, over 300 couples and their families have had their lives enriched with the adoption of these beautiful children.

Many children are left behind at FANA in Bogotá, not adopted, who miss loving parents and homes. It is these children who are blessed by the continuing care of FANA in Bogotá.
