For over 80 years the Children’s Orthopedic Hospital and the Venezuelan Foundation against infantile Paralysis have been powered by Eugenio Mendoza’s legacy, passed down from generation to generation, becoming the most important institution in child health care in Venezuela and well recognized in Latin America.
Our mission is to improve the lives of underprivileged children suffering from orthopedic and neuromuscular conditions in Venezuela by providing them with the necessary medical treatment and support. We are committed to partnering with the Children's Orthopedic Hospital in Caracas to ensure that these children receive the care they need to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Through our private non-profit organization, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of these children and their families, and to create a brighter future for all.
We rely on the support of generous donors like you to help us achieve our goals. Your donation or participation can make a real difference in the lives of our children, allowing them to have access to treatments and surgeries that can improve their lives significantly.
