CANICA - Puerto Vallarta Chapter
The first civil association in Puerto Vallarta for social assistance was established in 1970 by a group of Vallarta women, Asociación Femenil Vallartense. The noble goals were primarily to serve the community in all of its different aspects, including social, civic, cultural, and sports, and to work with local, state, and federal authorities on initiatives to raise the standard of living in the community.
Our primary program, which has been ongoing and permanent since 2006 thanks to the support of the government, the general public, and charitable businesses, is the comprehensive care for children and young people with cancer from low-income families (CANICA).
