Hogar Infantil is a charity in Tijuana, Mexico that cares for orphaned, abandoned, and abused children from the area. This charity is different from other organizations with similar goals because they don't just provide food, shelter, and an education for the children. They provide a real home and family where the children feel loved, supported, and cared for. The kids look to the program directors not as figureheads, but as parents who love and want the best for them. Further, the charity is probably the most fiscally responsible charity I have ever encountered. They take careful consideration of where to put every dollar, and nothing is spent frivolously. You can be confident that any donations are going directly to helping the kids and that it will be used well. Hogar Infantil truly is a wonderful organization and I strongly encourage people to donate and help their cause!
