OKAY GUYS, this is big! Hilaria Baldwin (real name is Hillary Hayward-Thomas) is the daughter of Kathryn Hayward and David L. Thomas Jr. They run this website called International Integrators. They've got ties to this Spanish organization called RANA, which is "a non-governmental organization dedicated to the prevention of child sexual abuse and mistreatment."

"Red de Ayuda a Niños Abusados (RANA) received a significant gift in 2014 from The Alec Baldwin Foundation in celebration of the birth in New York City of Carmen Gabriela Baldwin, the daughter of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin.
The gift provided supplemental funding permitting RANA to continue and expand its valuable programs during the economic crisis in Spain. In announcing the gift, Liz Homberg, Founder and Director of RANA, said, “This generous support permits us to continue full operations until governmental support is again available from local sources.”
Hilaria and Alec Baldwin explained why they made this gift in the name of their newborn daughter. “Carmen is a lucky little girl who is fortunate to be growing up in a loving, safe, supportive family. We want her to know, at an early age, that she has the power to make the world a better place, and that she can contribute to organizations that support parents in raising their children in love and safety. We are grateful to International Integrators for helping us channel our philanthropy to support RANA´s mission of preventing childhood sexual abuse and healing its victims.”
RANA’s mission is the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse via awareness campaigns, educational programs and outreach activities and was founded to:
» Prevent violence, abuse and sexual abuse against children and to intervene in appropriate cases.
» Increase public awareness about the issue of child sexual abuse.
» Promote the rights of children.
» Improve the lives of children and adults who have been affected by abuse.
» Promote gender equality among children.
Over the course of its operations, RANA has experienced an overall rise in the demand for its programs. Their signature prevention program, called “Grita Muy Fuerte” (Scream), provides specific training for education professionals in the detection of child sexual abuse and encourages positive links between parents and children to improve communication and facilitate detection.
An illustrated book provides children with tools for self-protection, and for developing self-esteem and assertiveness.The program aims to encourage increased respect for children’s own bodies and those of others, and to promote equality among children.
Some of RANA’s achievements to date include training over 1,000 professionals and other adults in the detection and prevention of child sexual abuse, educating over 5,000 children in the awareness and prevention of child sexual abuse, and providing support for adult abuse victims, their children and families, including psychological treatment for hundreds of adult abuse victims. RANA has contributed to an increase in reporting of sexual abuse in schools and elsewhere, and catalyzed an integrated government protocol to deal with instances of child sexual abuse."

"The RANA Foundation is a non-governmental organization dedicated to the prevention of child sexual abuse and mistreatment. Recently, the Council of Europe has reported that 1 in 5 children suffer the consequences of sexual abuse but due to the taboo that surrounds this subject, only 1 in 10 children will speak up. Therefore, RANA focuses its work on the awareness and prevention of abuse as a key step to eradicate this social problem and break this cycle of violence within our society.
ACT NOW!, RANA's Prevention Program, is a community- wide project designed to inform adults about the prevalence and consequences of sexual abuse and to involve everyone in the protection of children. In terms of FORMATION, the program facilitates training, education, and awareness activities for professionals, teaching them to detect, prevent and act in a case of abuse or mistreatment. Regarding EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOLS, the RANA Foundation has designed a program with activities for children to know their rights and learn how to ask for help, providing them with tools to protect themselves against abuse. In conjunction with this, there is training for teachers and parents to heighten their awareness of this reality and create a plan of action. The third component of the overall program involves PSYCOLOGICAL COUNSELING to adult victims who are seeking help to recover their lives as well as guidance to hundreds of families and professionals who are facing abuse.
Results within the community since the program began in 2005 include the establishment of a Balearic Child Sexual Abuse Protocol, an increase in detection and reporting, a government evaluation and treatment team for children abused outside the home, and a raised awareness of child sexual abuse among the local citizens and members of the media community thanks to a variety of activities, congresses, publicity campaigns and public events organized by RANA. In the past 7 years, we’ve seen an overwhelming demand for RANA’s programs, both within the Balearics, in mainland Spain, and in a number of Spanish speaking countries in Central and South America. Our website www.fundacionrana.org, currently in Spanish, Catalan and English, provides the visitor with a complete overview of the subject of child abuse as well as the Prevention Guide and other educational materials which can be downloaded. Our growing presence in social media, facebook.com/asociacionrana.org, permits us to stimulate discussions, awareness and understanding of this epidemic.
We are searching for funding to continue our mission of protecting children against sexual abuse. Thank you for each and every donation for this cause."
