Programs
Niño de la Caridad Parent Programs
Our parent engagement programs offer parents guidance on the best ways to support their children through their academic journeys. They also help create a safe space for parents to unite and converse about the various obstacles that they face when helping their children.

The workshops aim to educate the community on ways to create healthy eating habits, make wise food choices, and adopt effective budgeting techniques that allow families to plan their spending which in turn enables them to purchase healthy and nutritious foods

How can you help
Our interns are predominantly from Fordham University, Monroe College, and Hostos Community College.
Each of our programs provides internship and volunteering opportunities.
Niño de la Caridad Foundation was founded by Dr. Denise Nuñez at a time when she used to work as a Pediatric Critical Care Physician in the Bronx. As she provided medical care to the local community, she started noticing the lack of resources that were available to Hispanic and Latinx families in the borough.For years, Bronx families have been facing great barriers. More than 40% of children in the Bronx live in poverty, compared to 20.6% statewide. Poverty is one of the most important reasons why children do not attend school or college.
