The Children’s Art Foundation is a non-profit organization founded to help underprivileged children reach their full potential through art.
Enriching children’s lives through art:
We offer free education in art and literacy to disadvantaged children in many rural communities of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico in their own classrooms, taking the program and the teachers to their doorsteps.Our program is art with a difference!
We teach children drawing, painting, imagining and story writing, the life skills of self-expression. Children develop fine motor skills, attention to detail, problem solving and self-confidence; all while having fun and learning to draw great pictures and create great stories.Art as Cultural bridge:
We also create employment for artists and promote goodwill with the local communities, engaging volunteers, training teachers, and reinforcing sustainability.How you can help: Please go to our website to volunteer or make a donation at www.artedelosninos.org
We welcome you to visit our Saturday classes and find your special place.

We have been involved in CAF for three years and have been amazed at the involvement wth children’s art education put forth by this organization. Children’s personal self worth, along with artistic talents, have blossomed under this program. So glad to be part of helping these kids from less fortunate homes and backgrounds, to maybe one day rise above and become successful, wise and perhaps “pay it forward”.
The website is down, and Hannah Jarmain has left San Miguel almost two years ago, to live in Canada. How she manages to help the children here in San Miguel is unclear at best. She comes back to town to collect money once or twice a year. Her reputation is questionable.
