OUR WORK
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The objective of Fundación 8 Abrazos is to provide fun creative activities and entertainment to children with cancer who are living in short term accommodations over the course of their time in treatment.
These short term accommodations are charitable foundations dedicated to serving low income children while they are receiving medical treatment in Cali for cancer and related diseases.
We currently support these foundations: Fundación la Divina Providencia, Fundación Semillas de Amor, Fundación Carlos Portela y Fundación Pohema.
