Fundacion Luz y Verdad de Avellaneda is a private welfare foundation and also an orphanage known as “Hogar de Ninos Eduardo Alfonso y Delia Marinaro” since 1983.

When the children come to our home, most of them have no dad or mom and are disabled, and the Foundation becomes their home and family for the rest of their lives.

The Foundation also provides food, clothing, footwear, furniture to people in need. So our children also learn to help and share with other children and adults who are in great need of assistance.

The foundation has never received donations from the state or city government and sustains itself through members and the help of a group of friends.

With 27 years experience, the new objective of the Foundation is to think about the future of our children with disabilities, because they will become men and women who always will need long term care, home, food, medicine, physical rehabilitation and everything to satisfy their basic needs.

That is why we have settled down -since January 2004- in the town of Punta Indio, 93 miles from Buenos Aires. Here the Foundation has 18 acres of land where we planted trees for future olive and walnut production and grapevines are grown mainly for home wine making, vinegar, raisins, and sweets.  We are dedicated to the reforestation of Red Eucalyptus for firewood and Pines and Casuarinas for windbreaks.

All the plants are grown by us. (http://www.viverodelafundacion.com.ar)

We build houses and sheds of recycled wood from salvaged boards that we get by disarming platforms in disuse donated by neighbor businesses.

This experience enabled us to build two cabins that we rent and are one of our sources of income since Punta Indio is a tourist area. (http://www.cabanadelafundacion.com.ar)

All the constructions are built by us with no payment involved.

We have an orchard that provides food to our children as well as an income to the foundation.

We invite people, businesses and NGOs to be a part of our friend’s list and help us to make possible our aim for our children.

Please, we need your help. Thank you very much.
