| Established in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, it is a safe haven for the children of the streets and those whose mothers come from the outskirts of town to work or to sell their wares at the local mercado. Casa de los Angeles was founded on September 18, 2000. It has grown over the years to now serve more than 100 children from 83 families at two centers. In addition to daycare, the centers provide a place for mothers to find the support and the help they need to make a good life for themselves and their children. Casa de los Angeles is able to provide medical care for the families, a food bank, summer camp, and scholarships. In late 2003 a construction program was initiated to build bathrooms and houses for the families we serve. On January 29, 2005 Casa Santa Clara was dedicated. It is a transitional housing program and emergency shelter for our poorest families. Finally, on August 9, 2008, we opened the second center which includes a daycare, a mom’s center and free clinic on land which was generously donated by Doña Teresita.All that we do at Casa de los Angeles is done in a relationship of mutuality that respects the dignity of each individual. We ask for your prayers and extend an open invitation for you to come and see your gifts at work.
