Casa De La Madre y El Niño

Maestro Cares Foundation is funding much-needed renovations to expand the facilities of Casa de la Madre y el Niño (La Casa), an orphanage in Bogotá, Colombia.

The renovations will enhance the center’s capacity to support more at-risk children by adding a new playroom, a tranquil study area, modernizing bathrooms, and creating a family visiting room. The renovations also include establishing dedicated spaces for psychosocial interventions and building a pergola to shelter the children’s bikes and beautify the green space. These improvements will ensure that La Casa provides welcoming and private environments for individual support and intervention.

Founded in 1942 as Bogotá’s first adoption agency, Casa de La Madre y El Niño is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting children and families. Over its 82 years, La Casa has supported more than 20,000 children, including 2,500 with special needs, and has facilitated the adoption of over 10,000 minors.

Additionally, they have aided more than 3,000 mothers facing difficult pregnancies. La Casa also focuses on reunification programs aimed at enhancing parenting skills and problem solving abilities to support children temporarily.
