The Children’s Art Foundation. (CAF)is a non profit organization founded in San Miguel de Allende in 2010, a unique partner of Amistad Canada whose mandate is to reach out to disadvantaged children in outskirt communities, to teach them art and story writing.

The foundation creates jobs for local artists as teachers and encourage children to dream and express their dreams through art. The kids laugh and giggle in class as they draw their own version of their future. Over the past 10 years, the Children’s Art Foundation (CAF) has brought art to the doorsteps of over 2000 young children offering them the most beautiful joy of creativity and the skills of self-expression which they can draw from for the rest of their lives.
