A safe community starts with shared childcare
Restoration of rights:
A family for life
In this care pathway, we seek children to be the protagonists in a family that loves, protects, and cares them for life.
To achieve this, we have two types of care:
Institutional Home
We provide affection, care and temporary protection to children whose rights have been violated by situations related to neglect, mistreatment, abuse or abandonment. Under this program, the children live in our Suba facility until their reintegration to their family of origin or their integration into an adoptive family is defined.
A team of caregivers and professionals in the areas of psychology, social work, nutrition, pedagogy and nursing accompanies the children and the families involved in the process.
While the children live with us, they enjoy their rights in a healing and nurturing environment, so that they recover, as soon as possible, the right to be protagonists in a family that loves and cares for them forever. We have the capacity to care for 62 children between 1 day of birth and 8 years old -as maximum age of admission-. We welcome more than 180 children per year.
Adoptions
Through this program, CRAN searches for the most suitable families, Colombian or foreign, for children in adoptable conditions.
CRAN is one of the institutions authorized to carry out adoptions in Colombia. We look for the most suitable families so that the children, in a defined legal condition, recover their right to have a family that will love and care for them forever and grow up in a loving and caring environment.
We accompany and prepare all families who wish to adopt a child with a process of reflection and awareness. The objective of this is to build a protective, caring and loving family.
The Colombian Institute of Family Welfare - ICBF - is the authority when it comes to adoptions in Colombia.
We recommend that youconsult their website by clicking on the ICBF button for all the information about the process

Social Inclusion
Tutor Foster Homes
In this modality we take in teenagers and young people who are victims of the armed conflict and come from different regions of the country. In Bogota, they live with a foster family that provides them with a caring and protective environment in which they can restore their rights.
For the processes of care and accompaniment, the teenagers and foster homes have an interdisciplinary technical team at the Foundation in areas such as psychology, social work and nutrition.
The objectives we seek are that young people can rebuild their formal and informal links with society and give new meaning to their experiences so that when strengthened, they can resume their life project.
We currently have a capacity to serve 30 teenagers and young people.
Prevention: Caring and Protective Communities
CRAN promotes protective environments to prevent children’s rights from being violated en entering the protection of the State. To this end, we carry out strategies to strengthen adults, families, and communities through alliances with other organizations that offer services in vulnerable communities throughout the country.
We have designed a participatory model of work with adults for the development of strategies that engage families and communities in supporting children in areas such as education, health, recreation, leisure, and coexistence. In this way, adults strengthen skills and capacities to better manage and leverage resources in building protective environments.
This program is carried out through projects that foster shared responsibility in collaboration with other civil society organizations, both private and public, which adapt the model to their specific needs and/or provide the resources for CRAN to transfer and scale up preventive efforts.
