What do Steve Jobs, John Lennon and Malcolm X have in common?
They were all orphans. They clearly reached their potential. In Puerto Vallarta, there is a tremendous need and obligation for all of us to help improve the lives of orphaned, abandoned, and abused children. It takes a village to raise a child.
Many children from impoverished, dysfunctional families end up on the streets of Puerto Vallarta. A few of them are lucky enough to be cared for by the Casa Hogar Maximo Cornejo.
This children’s shelter was founded in 1993 and has seen hundreds of children rescued, loved, educated and graduate to an adult world. Some children come from local authorities and some from the Department of Social Services (D.I.F.). Occasionally their parents ask the shelter to care for their children until a critical situation at home can be resolved. The shelter supports 55 children, from infants to teenagers. They are cared for by dedicated permanent staff and volunteers and supported by funds from sponsors and donors like I.F.C.
Please help an abandoned child reach their potential. Donate
