Casa Viva operates in the field of child welfare, focusing on providing living solutions for children who cannot reside with their families due to abuse, abandonment, neglect, or orphaning. The organization aims to keep children connected to families within their own country, prioritizing reunification and a spectrum of care options that includes national adoption and long-term foster arrangements before institutional care. It works with churches and national child welfare bodies to uphold children's rights and adhere to local laws, while developing a self-sustaining national management and financial model to reduce long-term reliance on international support. Based in Wheaton, Illinois, Casa Viva serves a regional community and engages a network of partner institutions to match children with appropriate family-based care arrangements. The organization emphasizes a vision of guiding children toward family-based solutions in alignment with its mission to connect them to families in the name of Jesus Christ.
