"I first met Javier and Helma in November 2003 as a member of the Ecuador mountaineering trip to climb Antisana volcano. Javier was the trip leader and I was fortunate to be roped directly behind him and enjoyed a great experience climbing high on Antisana.
During my Ecuador stay I was touched by Javier and Helma's passion and commitment to help the street children of Quito. On a second trip in 2007, I was fortunate to see the latest developments at the Child ‘N Family center in Ambato and I was amazed to see what had been achieved."
Daniëlle Children’s Fund (DCF) is a non-profit charity organization, based in The Netherlands. DCF’s mission is to accompany children in need and their families in Ecuador and Nepal, re-establishing and maintaining the link between them. While doing that, DCF focuses mainly on educational, medical, social and psychological services. All DCF members strongly feel the need to share with the children and families what God is giving to them. In both countries, DCF runs Child ‘N Family centres through local operational team.
The centre in Ecuador is located in Ambato. It offers a temporary home to children in need, with the aim to reunite them with their families.
