OUR MISSION

Los Niños Del Capitan, A.C. is an equivalent of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in
Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur.

The mission of Los Niños is to provide assistance to low-income parents by providing daily daycare service for their children, and provide the children a better quality of life, nutrition, education and medical attention, all within a framework of humane values and with a lot of love. The objective of the organization is to provide for the children the necessary tools that may allow them to change their environment, while at the same time instill in the parents a sense of responsibility and respect for their children. The mission is not purely charitable but formative, which is accomplished through education. The goal is to achieve change within the nuclei of the family so that in the future the children that we care for with so much love can be worthy and confident individuals.

In the outskirts of Cabo San Lucas, in an area usually not seen by tourists, is an oasis of inspiration filled with laughter, singing and playing, the daycare facility of Los Niños Del Capitán in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Los Niños Del Capitan is a model Mexican nonprofit that currently provides daycare to over 120 children of working parents.

The parents pay approximately $10 USD a week and in turn the children receive breakfast and lunch, as well as basic preschool instruction in a loving and nurturing environment. The success of Los Niños Del Capitan resides in the hard work and dedicationof the “abuelita”, or grandmother, as the children of the daycare refer to Herminia Losada, the executive director of Los Niños. When asked why she volunteers her time at LosNiños Del Capitan she replied, “because of the need to serve others and because I receive way more than I give!”        Click here to see photos of special events and outings...

On Saturday, May 14th, Herminia Losada, in representation of the Los Niños Del Capitan, received recognition from the International Community Foundation (ICF) as ICF’s 2005 Grantee of the Year. The award not only recognized Ms. Losada and her team’s amazing efforts at promoting and strengthening civil society participation in Baja California Sur to make a difference in their community, but it also recognized the donors that help make their hard work come to life! In particular the efforts of the Cellar family through their “Team Misiones” fund at ICF, the Rotary club of Bellingham, Washington for starting a “friends of” fund at ICF for Los Niños, and Universal Life Resources (ULR) for its employee matching gift donation and volunteer time that made the Los Niños completion of the daycare center, the medical clinic and dental facility possible.
