The Salvation Army opened its work officially in Mexico in 1937. In response to the desperate need of orphans and displaced children, as well as those whose families could not afford to raise them, The Salvation Army responded to help.

In 1954, the first children’s home was dedicated in Mexico City. A total of 16 were eventually established that through the years have been a safe haven and loving home for thousands of children.

When a child enters one The Salvation Army’s children’s home, he or she will know that they will be loved, find spiritual nurture and also be given help in many ways so that they have the best chance to live successful lives. Each child is given education, healthcare, emotional support, family counseling as well as being allowed to enjoy being a child.
