Mexico
While Mexico’s economy grows through tourism and industry, they are also plagued with drug addiction, drug wars, corruption and lack of social services for care of abandoned, neglected and abused children. The majority of employment in Mexico remains to be migratory and seasonal, depending on agriculture and tourism opportunities which are very low pay. Families in poverty, suffer from depression and falling into drug and alcohol abuse, leaving their children vulnerable to trafficking and cartel recruitment. Your support for our Mexico program will provide safety, care and education to the orphaned and abandoned children as well as support, education and resources for the most vulnerable in the community surrounding the home.
Manos de Amor, Bucerias Children’s Shelter
Sponsorship Programs Available: Home Sponsorship
Orphan’s Lifeline has been supporting Manos de Amor since 2007, one year after the home was started by a loving, Christian woman, who grew up in an orphanage herself and had a desire to make an impact on the orphan cycle in Mexico. Children were brought to the Directors home by Department of Infants and Families as well as good Samaritans who had children living in their streets. There was no financial aid provided for the care of these children for food and shelter by the government and only a limited amount provided by the local church. Now Manos de Amor, is a large, loving, safe, home providing quality, Christian care in a family style home to 20 children as well as day shelter services for 20 additional children from the community. The children served are healthy, happy and have hope for their future.
