About our non-profit.

Project CHELA was founded by Tanya Flores who worked for many years as a foster care social worker, supervisor, adoption’s social worker and children’s advocate.  She holds a master’s degree in social work.   Mrs. Flores discovered that trauma affects the whole person and most of the children in foster care suffer from mental illness.

​

"As a child I envisioned a program in which children could find hope, be a child and discover the world as a peaceful place".
