Our Impact
Some of the reasons the children are at Hogar Infantil are:
Because their family’s home is not safe due to addiction or abuse.
their only parent is in prison
unable to care for them because of mental illness
having access to an education would be an extreme hardship for the family
Others who are abandoned or street kids find Hogar on their own.
Often they are abused emotionally and physically, malnourished, and lacking in Spanish language skills as much of Chiapas’ population is indigenous. Over forty dialects are spoken.
And that is the root of why Hogar exists,to address poverty and its many faces.
