Organizational Profile

Fabretto is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate and empower underserved children, youth, and their families to enable them to improve their livelihoods and their communities. Fabretto carries on the work of Fr. Raphael Maria Fabretto, an Italian missionary who founded a network of children’s homes in the poorest communities of Nicaragua starting in 1953. As of mid-2022, Fabretto has begun a new chapter in which we are partnering with on-the-ground nonprofit organizations in Central America to strengthen education programs, provide technical assistance, and build local capacity to serve children and youth. We are leveraging decades of experience implementing innovative grassroots education and development programs in Nicaragua to impact communities in neighboring countries in Central America by strengthening the capacities of the organizations we serve. Fabretto supports child and youth development in Central America through four key programs: Education, Nutrition, Child Sponsorship, and Youth Empowerment. Currently, we work with eight Impact Partners – four in Honduras and four in Guatemala. Please visit our website for more information.
