Casa de los Angeles is a community of caring people who gather to nurture children, serving the needs of the less fortunate, treating each person with dignity and respect as they work to make a better life for themselves and the community as a whole. It began as a small free daycare center in the heart of San Miguel de Allende. It is now a safe haven for many children and a turning point for them and their families.


OUR LEGACY

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 73 children from 52 families. In addition to daycare, the center provides 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 children, 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. AND, on January 29, 2005 Casa Santa Clara was dedicated --- a transitional housing program and emergency shelter for our poorest families. Our newest project is building our second center which will include daycare, a mom's center and free clinic on land which has been donated. All of this 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 & see your gifts at work.”
