About Us
Our Vision
At Hermanitos United, our vision is to create a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive, grow, and reach their full potential, supported by compassionate communities and meaningful resources.
The vision of Hermanitos United Inc. began in 1987 when Diana, our founder, traveled to Colombia as a young girl. During her visit to an orphanage, she locked eyes with a little girl whose sorrow left a lasting mark on her heart. Deeply moved, Diana made a promise to herself: she would return and dedicate her life to helping children in need, ensuring that no child would have to face such hardship alone.
In 2016, Diana returned to Colombia, this time bringing her young daughters—Luciana, only 7, and Juliana, only 6. At the orphanage, they witnessed firsthand the children’s distress and felt the weight of their struggles. Deeply moved, the three of them came together with a shared purpose—to create Hermanitos United Inc. and dedicate themselves to helping children in need, bringing hope, support, and brighter futures.
