Mission & vision
Our purpose is both immediate and enduring: to care for children in moments of need while helping build the knowledge, confidence, relationships, and resilience that support a thriving future.
Our mission
The mission of INSTITUCION DE NINOS ANDRES INC is to provide compassionate, child-centered care that supports safety, educational progress, physical wellness, emotional well-being, and healthy development for children and youth in need throughout Puerto Rico. We seek to respond with dignity and consistency, connect families to helpful resources, and create environments where every young person can feel secure, valued, and capable.
Our vision
We envision a compassionate Puerto Rico where every child nurtured by INSTITUCION DE NINOS ANDRES INC grows in a safe, loving, healthy, and empowering environment. In that future, children have equitable access to learning, responsible adults stand beside families, communities share responsibility for young people, and every child has the freedom to imagine and pursue a meaningful life.
Guiding commitments
We protect each child’s dignity, privacy, voice, and right to experience care in an environment designed around well-being.
We translate empathy into reliable support, thoughtful communication, and practical responses to real needs.
We encourage learning, creativity, culture, play, and relationships that help children recognize their own potential.
Stand with Puerto Rico’s children
