Los Cabos Children's Foundation

Spirit of Service - Our Spirit of Service was born in 2006. Since its foundation, LCCF has worked hand in hand with other nonprofits to improve the quality of life of children and adolescents in Baja California sur. In this spirit is where we group the organizations that address health issues such as general health, disabilities, and mental health. Since 2016, when we structured and opened our grant making process, we have been able to multiply the number of programs supported in this spirit, as well as work on new health issues. The mental and social health of children and adolescents became important areas of focus. We supported programs that work on the promotion of a healthy lifestyle that prevents obesity and addictions and that built psychological programs for children at risk and under state protection. In 2018, we strengthened our knowledge of the existing needs in our southern Baja communities, by supporting a health diagnosis that we plan to expand. During the 2022-2023 period, the spirit of service served 5,152 children with 152,490 services.

Spirit of Hope - Our Spirit of Hope was born in 2013 with the creation of the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) as a requirement to achieve the accreditation of the pediatric hematology-oncology unit of Salvatierra Hospital. The creation of the PICU also allowed the possibility to perform open-heart surgeries on children and adolescents because the specialized and quality post-op care was now available. In time, the PICU raised the quality of care in the whole pediatrics area of Salvatierra Hospital. We later included the support to other programs through this spirit, such as the neonatal intensive care unit, where critically ill newborns are cared for, and the pediatric subspecialty residency program, which through the proper training of the residents, raises the quality and availability of pediatric care in Baja California sur. During the 2022 - 2023 period, the Spirit of Hope served 2,470 children with 4,440 services.
