About Foundation AM-EN FOUNDATION AM-EN FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITY The Foundation Amor y Energía (love and energy) AM-EN is an independent, non- profit charitable organization committed to the social development of handicapped children and people with disability. Based in the developing country of Ecuador in South America, AM-EN was founded in 1995 by the German citizen Heidi Paliz. The United Nation Voluntary Fund for Disability sponsored it from 1999 until 2005. Their mandate was as a training project at a national level in Ecuador and sub regional level in Central America as well as Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. Children, whose physicians had stated would never be able to speak or walk, have, after some time at the Foundation, started to make their first steps and pronounce their first words. Other children, previously rejected by educational establishments, have managed to begin their schooling. AMEN is a non-profit making charity. Most of the people who receive therapy cannot afford to pay for the sessions. AM-EN relies almost exclusively on international grants and donations.
