Hogar de ninos Emanuel's Mission Statement: We are here out of love to God and love to the children. We believe God has called us to serve Him through Hogar de Niños Emanuel (God with us). We want to work in harmony and in agreement with all the members of the board. We want to be able to look together for the holistic welfare of the children. We think it is necessary that there is a trust in our doings, our decisions, and our motivation, so we can be able to strive together as a team to cover not only the basic needs (food, a roof, health, education) but the spiritual needs which are more important. We believe and hold that our main objective is to assure that these boys and girls know God the Father and make it to heaven through our Lord Jesus Christ. We want to share our conviction that God will bless abundantly the Home, because this Home is His. God is the creator and owner of these children, and He is the owner of the gold and silver. He will provide if we remain faithful to Him and we walk straight in His ways.

Year Founded: 1974

Hogar de ninos Emanuel is a Christian based organization. We do not require our participants to be of the same faith. Our volunteers will not be involved in religious proselytizing.
