Patronato Nacional de la Infancia (PANI) is the organization in Costa Rica which protects the rights of children and adolescents. This includes the rights to health care, education, justice, work, culture and recreation, and the right to a safe and healthy family life.

They operate shelters and help fund daycare centres throughout the country, act as mediators between children and the justice system, remove children from abusive homes and place them in foster care or in shelters, and oversee adoptions.
