Teresa Rivero Jackson founded Ayuda Al Niño in 1969, 47 years ago, to help the children in Latin America.  Her dedication and attitude is driven by her sincere desire to help the orphaned, the abandoned and the extremely poor children in Latin America.

Richard L. Jackson Jr. was there in 1969 with Teresa.  He is the genius behind the financial scene that keeps everything on track.  We are 100% volunteers, so there are no overhead costs paid by your donations.  All volunteers pay out-of-pocket all of there respective expenses, include travel expenses to distribute the donations in person.
