Full Steam Ahead!

After two years of planning and over a year of construction, World Spark’s Niños de Guadalupe village for orphan boys in Las Trojes, Michoacán is operational. At the present time, Niños de Guadalupe cares for boys between the ages of 4 and 8 in two residential cottages. The cottages, as well as Multipurpose and Educational buildings, a Village Chapel, Playgrounds/Soccer field, and several support facilities, create a warm family environment with significant individual attention.

Niños de Guadalupe aims at the healing and formation of children who have been physically and/or emotionally abused and neglected. The Niños program, particularly its intense focus on counseling, mentoring, arts and sports therapy, seeks to heal the whole child, psychologically, physically, educationally and spiritually. At Niños de Guadalupe, the cognitive and emotional needs of boys are addressed both individually and collectively.

The Niños program, both in terms of program and quality, is unique in Mexico. Thanks to the generous support of numerous individuals and foundations, especially the Anthony H. Kruse Foundation, this program with its quality campus and qualified staff facilitates the significant healing and development of its children.
