Overview: Maestro Cares Foundation and Fundación Telmex-Telcel have jointly funded both phases of this project.

The second phase entails the expansion of the same location to accommodate a larger number of girls. The Cacalomacán site collectively will provide shelter to over 168 young girls aged 5-12. Equipped with dormitories, a well-equipped kitchen, a chapel, a basketball court, versatile multipurpose rooms, administrative spaces, recreational areas, and a computer room. The facility aims to provide a secure environment where these girls can find solace, encouragement, and educational guidance.

Fundación Casa Hogar Alegría offers a comprehensive upbringing to orphaned girls who lack parental care, have socio-economic disadvantages or any impediments that interfere with their ability to become happy and well-rounded individuals in a safe environment.
