GET TO KNOW US
RESCUING AND TRANSFORMING LIVES
Casa Juan Pablo II is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing the lives of children and young people who have suffered abuse and rejection. Through prevention and rehabilitation programs, we offer a path for those who are growing up without direction, purpose, or hope.
We combat the uncertainty, helplessness, and fear that often lead them to depression, drug addiction, and violence. Our commitment is to provide them with a new opportunity, a safe home, and the necessary tools to build a dignified future.
OUR STORY
Casa Juan Pablo II was founded by Father Javier Aquino Florenciani with the mission of prevention and rehabilitation through grassroots social projects. The organization focuses on empowering young people and adults by offering them concrete alternatives to addiction. This is achieved through initiatives such as Caras del Rosario, which trains tour guides, and the Acordes Music Academy, a free music school. Its primary purpose is to strengthen communities and individuals by giving them the tools for a dignified future.
A Cry for Help from Puerto Rico’s Children
In Puerto Rico, we face significant social challenges, and unfortunately, children are often the most vulnerable, suffering from abuse and neglect. Poverty, violence, and other systemic issues create an environment where many grow up without the solid foundation they need to thrive.
At Casa Juan Pablo II, we step in to be that safe refuge. Our programs are designed to give young people a new chance at life, helping them overcome adversity and find their way. We provide them with the tools and support they need to build a future filled with dignity and hope.
OUR MISSION
At Casa Juan Pablo II, our mission is to provide prevention and rehabilitation services to communities, families, and individuals. We work with children, youth, and adults who are at risk or have already been affected by substance abuse, violence, crime, school dropout, poverty, and neglect. Our goal is to create a safe environment where they can meet their emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual needs.
We fight against the uncertainty, helplessness, and fear that often lead to depression, drug addiction, and violence. Our commitment is to give them a new opportunity, a safe home, and the tools they need to build a life of dignity.
Our goal is clear: to restore lives and transform hearts.
