Fundación AYMY
We provide resources and opportunities to disadvantaged communities in Haití
We protect and empower vulnerable children and communities in Haiti, providing shelter, education, and opportunities for a self-sufficient future
The association aims to shelter abandoned Haitian children, providing them with refuge, education, food, health, and well-being. It also seeks family reintegration when possible and promotes civic values in accordance with the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. Additionally, it encourages the social integration of children and the participation of local communities in development, cooperation, and self-sufficiency projects.
At Fundación AYMY, we are not just rescuing children,we are rebuilding futures. We provide a safe home, education, and healthcare to Haiti’s most vulnerable children, many of whom have suffered slavery, abuse, and extreme poverty. But our impact reaches beyond our walls. We bring light to the darkness, our solar project allows not only our children but also those from the community to study at night. We teach families to chlorinate water, fighting deadly diseases. Our Nest Homes prevent tragic accidents, ensuring young children are safe while mothers work, siblings attend school, and entire families break free from poverty. In a place where mothers often have no fuel to cook and must feed their children raw corn, leading to choking and malnutrition, our bakery provides life-saving, ready-to-eat bread. By investing in education, empowerment, and sustainability, AYMY is transforming lives. Be part of this change,your support brings hope, safety, and opportunity. Donate today.

"AYMY School was a way out for me in life, the first door I entered, and the one that shaped me. My experience was amazing—it taught me to write my name, to meet people, to value others, and to understand myself. It taught me so many beautiful things: to understand life, to read and write—not just me, but more than 200 other children as well."- Odney
Student at AYMY School
"Today, it is a pleasure for me to talk about my experience with AYMY. For me, AYMY is not just a job; it is a way of life, a life-changing experience. I have seen a child from the streets finish school, become a teacher, and prepare to enter university. That may seem ordinary elsewhere, but here, it is an extraordinary transformation. That is why, every time I talk about the work of AYMY and the children, my eyes fill with tears, and my heart grows stronger. AYMY is the children, it is life, it is change—and Lucía Lantero is the queen. And you, each one of you in Spain who works hard and donates 5 or 10 euros to AYMY, you are a soldier fighting to change the world, to bring more love, to transform lives. In 15 years, these children could have ended up in a gang in Port-au-Prince, but instead, they are teachers at AYMY. They can become doctors, professionals. AYMY is something so powerful—it is about seeing, with love, the change that one person can bring to another. I cannot just talk about my salary or professional growth, but about everything AYMY can change in the lives of families and children. Thank you."- Nemours Santana
