Census Results Orphanages in Tijuana

Mayo 20, 2021

Fundación Esperanza Contigo, A.C. presents a study about the situation of “Casas Hogar” (orphanages) in Tijuana.

Last Wednesday, September 4th, Fundación Esperanza Contigo, A.C. presented to different communication of the region and Directors of “Casas Hogar” in the city, the results of a census carried out with the help of volunteers and collaborators of the foundation in more than 25 orphanages in the city of Tijuana, from which extremely important results were obtained. The objective was to of generating socio-demographic information about the population that resides within these orphanages.

Currently Baja California is one of the states with the highest number of children and young people living in shelters or social assistance institutions, which is why it is important to generate information about this needy population and make known the most latent needs at the present time and encourage society to get involved in the cause.

The event was led by Ms. Jocelyn Martinez, Operational Coordinator of Fundación Esperanza Contigo, A.C., who presented the topics that were investigated through the surveys, such as the services and organization of the “Casa Hogar”, the physical and emotional state of the children when they enter the orphanage and their school performance. To date, 714 children and young people are registered as residents of orphanages, most of them between 5 and 9 years old, and the main reasons why they enter these institutions are parental abandonment, child abuse and parents deprived of their freedom.

Additionally, the foundation presented the basis of its Integral Development Model, in which they are working to fulfill their mission of transforming the lives of children and young people in situations of abandonment. The model of Fundación Esperanza Contigo, A.C. is based on 4 main programs: Remodeling, equipping and institutional development of orphanages, Program for the Integral Development of Children, Youth Development Program and Volunteer Support Program.

The Foundation has benefited more than 300 children and young people through its campaigns, activities, and events in recent months, however, its main function is to ensure that children and young people have better opportunities for the future and can give back to the next generations in need.
