Program Details

Casa Hogar Illary’ Ika (formerly known as Casa Hogar San Jacinto), whose name means 'Dawn Flower', began construction in May 2010. Its objective is to alleviate this poverty situation, which still persists, by offering food and schooling support to children in the villages of San Jacinto and Santa Clara.

With this project, it is hoped that the little ones grow up in a safe environment, have good nutrition, and receive an academic education that allows them to leave the poverty cycle in which they are living.

Casa Illary Ika is a project created with love to support the community, promote well-being, and a connection with nature.
