Makua, Friends of Voices for Children is a women's volunteer group that supports the CASA Program, which provides advocates for San Diego's foster youth.

Makua is the primary fundraising auxiliary for Voices for Children which addresses the child abuse crisis through its Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), who identify and protect the best interests of approximately 5,000 foster children in San Diego.

Makua members enjoy unique opportunities to synergize and network with like-minded women, exercising their unique talents and learning new skills in a friendly environment.

Annual Events always keeps their promise of putting the "fun back into fundraiser", and are behind more than a million dollars raised for the CASA Program since January 2004.

CASA Panels give the public a chance to hear first hand accounts by local volunteer advocates who transform foster children's lives, and their own.

Voices from the Heart CD Project helps create awareness, and provides artists an outlet to help local foster youth.

Partnerships with local individuals and businesses are a win-win for everyone. Fundraising on Makua's behalf means one by one, all of our local foster children in need will get the CASA they so richly deserve.

Fun Social Events provide the foundation of enduring friendships for Active and Sustaining Members and Patronesses.

Networking with other local foster youth groups offer a platform to be more effective in the common areas of support for children in need in San Diego.
