Casa Cuna Progreso Foundation is a children’s home society on Aruba founded on April 4th of 1957, and has an important place within the Aruban Community. Children between 0-8 years old, residing in Aruba and which are subject to the inclusion criteria of Casa Cuna Progreso are cared for and supervised. The assistance that Casa Cuna Progreso offers focuses merely on children who are in a difficult situation, such as an unsafe situation for the children in the family, educational or emotional neglect, abuse, behavioral or emotional problems. We accommodate 36 children and offer care to children seven days a week from day to night. Casa Cuna Progreso is situated in a child-friendly building with a variety of playgrounds surrounded by a spacious garden.

Casa Cuna Progreso is based on the idea that every child has the right to have security, love, attention and structure. Each child must be able to experience that he or she belongs somewhere, in other words, having a home and a family life. For most children living with their family is the most natural and obvious life situation where they can develop themselves with brothers, sisters and parents around. The relationship between parents and children remains important throughout their lives. Casa Cuna Progreso can and will not replace the natural home environment or bond between children and their biological parents. However, it can assist parents by temporarily taking over the task of educating their children, with the hope that the children ultimately return to their natural home or home environment. The supervisors accept the children and their educators as they are and focus on positive reference points in the upbringing and development process.

Casa Cuna Progreso Foundation can only carry out their activities by the donations granted by the Aruban Community and the subsidy given by the government. We are very grateful to all the sponsors who make it possible for us to offer children a safe and pleasant environment. We appreciate this support very much!
