Friends Of Children Everywhere

What Friends Of Children Everywhere does

Friends of Casa Bernabé, operating publicly as "Friends of Children Everywhere," is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1984 that runs Casa Bernabé, a children's home on a mountainside near Guatemala City. The organization serves over 100 children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect, organized across eight family-style units that provide residential care, three daily meals, and supervision by long-term adult caregivers. Its core "products" are programmatic services rather than technology offerings: an on-site school, a medical clinic, vocational training, and post-placement support programs (including launch and outreach) for youth aging out of care and their biological families. Donor-facing engagement vehicles include the Child Sponsorship Program, The Puzzle Piece Project, and a Textbooks Program.

The U.S. entity (Friends of Casa Bernabé, PO Box 4833, Wheaton, IL) processes all U.S. donations; the operational footprint is in Guatemala. Revenue is generated entirely through charitable donations and recurring sponsorships from U.S. individuals and organizations — there is no commercial product, fee-for-service, or contract revenue. Distribution of services occurs through direct residential and on-site delivery at the Guatemala campus, while donor acquisition relies on a self-serve website donation platform, social media (Instagram, Facebook), email newsletters, conferences/events, and impact reports. The organization holds ECFA accreditation, a Charity Navigator 4-star rating, and the 2025 Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, which together function as third-party trust markers for donor stewardship. There is no disclosed parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity; governance is via a board of directors.
