 Thirteen months after breaking ground for the new orphanage, after hundreds of hands helped dig, pour cement, raise walls, tile floors, paint, move truckloads of dirt and fertilizer, (and all those many steps in-between) our new children’s home was finally ready! On May 1, 2008, we opened the doors of our new, 24-bed facility, which will be used to house orphaned, abused and neglected children from ages 6—12. For now, however, the children from our smaller house, Casa del Pastor, are living and thriving in the new facility.

 SCHOOL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
While the cost to attend public school kindergarten in Mexico is minimal, there are a number of families too poor to afford even the small fees charged or provide the required school aprons and daily nutritional snacks. Because Niños de Baja helps families cover the fees through our Kindergarten Assistance Program, children who would otherwise be unable to attend kindergarten now begin first grade with the same kindergarten experience and knowledge as their peers.

 The Las Brisas daycare center opened in March, 2005, and cares for up to 30 infants and toddlers, operating five days a week. We are blessed with a highly-qualified staff who understands their work is not just labor, but a Christian ministry to the children and their parents. Our priority is to serve single mothers who must work to support their families. In Mexico there is no welfare system, so single mothers must work to feed and care for themselves and their children.
