Monterrey, the capital of Nuevo León, is an industrial city, with many people living below the poverty line. As result, family separation is a large problem.

Orphanages in Monterrey (and across the globe) have taken on the role of poverty alleviation. Research indicates that approximately 80% of children living in institutional care worldwide actually have family members who could care for them.

However, families living in poverty often struggle to provide for their children. So loving parents – trying to give their children a better future – send them to orphanages in hopes they will have safe shelter, nutritious food, and access to education. But while these parents are trying to make the right choice for their kids, they often aren’t aware of the dangers and damaging long-term effects of being raised in an institutional environment.

We know there is a better way. We know the children of Nuevo León deserve to grow up knowing the love of a family.
