Rosa de Anze Home, Quillacollo, Cochabamba

Hogar de Niños Rosa de Anze is an orphanage, established February 1997, with the objective of giving a family life to 25 children, including children with special needs.

In addition to the orphanage, Rosa de Anze provides community outreach to local children and their families:

  • Escuela Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, a Montessori school beginning with pre-school (age 3). Current enrollment includes 200 children grades 1 – 4. In 2006 Rosa de Anze sponsored a Montessori Methods teacher training for area teachers.

  • Escuela de Reposteria, Khuska Purinachej, a bakery school and shop, opened in 2004. It gives community young people a place to learn the bakery trade, and it provides revenue that allows neighborhood youth to attend the university.




  • A Library opened in 2005 with books, computers and internet access for children and university students of the area, a possibility they would not otherwise have. Community children have the opportunity to improve their literacy skills through reading times scheduled at the library.

Rosa de Anze is currently experiencing a transition in the administration of the home BCF plans for 2009 are to support the Home children and the infrastructure of the project overall.
