Mission
De stichting Los Cachorros (“de welpen”, zoals de straatkinderen in Peru worden genoemd) biedt hulp aan kansarme Peruaanse straatkinderen in de leeftijd tussen de 6 en 16 jaar, die om diverse redenen de nacht op straat moeten doorbrengen. Vaak zwerven zij op straat omdat de ouders niet meer in staat zijn de (vaak meerdere) kinderen te onderhouden. Ook geweld en misbruik zijn redenen waarom kinderen op straat terecht komen. Los Cachorros probeert deze kinderen te helpen door het bieden van een veilige omgeving waar zij de nacht kunnen doorbrengen. Daarnaast biedt Los Cachorros de kinderen veel persoonlijke aandacht en liefde, zodat de kinderen zich sociaal en mentaal kunnen blijven ontwikkelen. Verder wordt ervoor gezorgd dat er volop mogelijkheden zijn om te spelen en te leren, om de kinderen uiteindelijk een duwtje in de goede richting te geven naar een toekomst op eigen benen. Los Cachorros geeft de kinderen de vier essentiële B’s: bed, bad, brood, en begeleiding. Oftewel: Los Cachorros zorgt ervoor dat kinderen weer kinderen kunnen zijn.

Los Cachorros is registered in the Netherlands. Los Cachorros has ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, so donations are tax-deductible. You can deduct gifts that exceed 1% of your threshold income (minimum 60 euros). Periodic gifts (committed for 5+ years) are fully deductible without threshold.
You can verify Los Cachorros's legal status in three ways. First, look up the RSIN directly on the Belastingdienst ANBI register: https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/aftrek-en-kortingen/content/anbi-status-controleren and enter 816126239. The result page confirms whether the organisation currently holds ANBI status - a prerequisite for tax-deductible donations in the Netherlands. Second, search the Kamer van Koophandel public registry at https://www.kvk.nl/zoeken/ - the KvK record shows the legal form (Stichting / Vereniging / Coöperatie), registered address, board composition (where disclosed), and the date of incorporation. Third, every ANBI is legally required by the publicatieplicht to publish on its own website: the policy plan, financial statements, an overview of activities, board composition, and remuneration policy. A working ANBI page with current financials is the strongest signal of legitimacy beyond the registry. If all three sources agree on name, address and ANBI status, the organisation is legitimate.
You can donate to Los Cachorros directly through its donation page (http://www.loscachorros.nl/en/donate-1). Dutch charities typically accept iDEAL (the standard Dutch online-banking payment method), Tikkie payment requests, Bancontact for cross-border donors, SEPA bank transfer to the organisation's IBAN (account numbers starting with NL), and online payment processors (Mollie, Stripe). Many larger Dutch charities use platforms like Geef.nl, GeefSamen, Kentaa, and Pifworld for online fundraising. International donors can give via SEPA (the Netherlands is in the eurozone, so intra-EU transfers are cheap), PayPal, or GlobalGiving. For donations to count as a 'periodieke gift' - fully tax-deductible without a threshold - a written agreement (overeenkomst periodieke gift) committing for at least five years is required. Always confirm the recipient's RSIN and ANBI status before sending funds intended for the tax deduction.
Los Cachorros carries the CBF-Erkend Goed Doel label - the Dutch quality seal awarded by the Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving (CBF). To qualify, a charity passes a three-yearly independent audit covering governance (separation of board, oversight, and management), financial transparency (audited annual accounts, clear expense breakdown), effective use of donations, responsible fundraising practices, and a working complaints procedure. You can read the public 'CBF-paspoort' for Los Cachorros here: https://cbf.nl/organisaties/3614. The passport shows the most recent audit outcome and the headline financial ratios.
As an ANBI, Los Cachorros is legally required to publish the following information on its own website, free of charge and without a login (the 'publicatieplicht' obligation under Uitvoeringsregeling AWR 1994 art. 1a): the policy plan, an overview of the past year's activities, the financial statements (balance sheet, profit-and-loss, explanatory notes), board composition with names, and the remuneration policy for directors and key staff. Larger ANBIs (turnover above €50,000) must also publish a fuller financial report using the Belastingdienst's standard ANBI publication form. If you cannot find these documents on the organisation's website, that is a red flag worth raising with the board before donating.
