Give back the only safe home they know.

Donate. Protect. Change a life.

Imagine being rescued from unimaginable circumstances and finally finding a safe place to call home.

A place where you are protected, cared for and loved.

And then, suddenly, the only safe home you’ve ever known is no longer safe.

This is the reality for the children of Hogar Guadalupe today, and they need our help to restore their home, reunite their family, and give them back the safety every child deserves.

Urgent need

Help bring the children of Hogar Guadalupe home again

Since opening its doors in 1986, Fundación Hogar Guadalupe in Asunción, Paraguay, has provided shelter, care, stability, and hope to more than 3,000 vulnerable children.

Today, the building they once called home has become too dangerous to live in, forcing the children to be separated and relocated while they wait for urgent repairs.

Some have been sent to temporary shelters, some to foster homes, and others into uncertain circumstances.

This is about more than repairing a building, it is about bringing these children back together, restoring their safety and dignity, and giving back the only safe home they know.

We made a commitment to these children: we will help bring them back home! Now, we’re inviting you to make that commitment with us. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to help bring these children back together and give them their home again.

All contributions may qualify as a charitable tax deduction.
