Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to give them the opportunity to become educated, moral, responsible adults.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We aide the directors of Albergue Casa Hogar to provide a safe place with structure, rules, supplementary education and caregivers who keep them clean, healthy, and well fed. A dirty child with an empty belly living on the streets and truant from school has little chance to be an educated, moral, responsible adult.
