Project Information
- Today, over 30,000 children in Mexico live in orphanages throughout the country. But it’s estimated that as many as 400,000 children in Mexico are double-orphans, and 100,000 of these children roam the streets. Orphaned and vulnerable children in Mexico remain at great risk of being recruited to gangs, human trafficking rings, or child labor.

Casa Hogar Alegría
Casa Hogar Alegría
Guadalajara, México
Maestro Cares Foundation, in partnership for a second project with Fundación Telmex-Telcel, funded the construction of Casa Hogar Alegría’s (CHA) orphanage in Guadalajara, Mexico. This state-of-the-art facility provides a safe, nurturing environment for up to 70 orphaned girls, from infants to 15 years old, offering them a loving and supportive home.
The home features dormitories, computer labs, recreational areas, dining spaces, a kitchen, a chapel, and multipurpose rooms. Beyond meeting their basic needs, the facility provides engaging workshops and recreational activities that promote independence, responsibility, and self-confidence.
By equipping these girls with essential resources and opportunities, CHA aims to empower them to become positive contributors to their communities and agents of change.
