Who we are?

2,627 lives over 25 years.

Domestic violence sends hundreds of girls and teens into the street, placing them in a situation of vulnerability that makes it hard for them to study or even develop a healthy personality. Casa de las Mercedes Foundation I. A. P. provides a place where hundreds of girls have found a safe place to grow up and go back to school, where we face difficulties with a brave face, knowing that we're stronger together.

Household Maintenance

Fresh paint for the dorms? The power went out! Need to disinfect the entire premises? Time for the once-a-year spray for pests and rodents? Need new fire extinguishers? We love this home, we want it to be a place of harmony with a respectable appearance so that our girls who have been socially rejected and in situations of poverty regain a sense of a clean, orderly home.

Sponsor a child

Your donation will be used specifically for girls who have made progress in a performance area: school, sports, or a trade. Your donation will go towards the purchase of their supplies. We encourage you to invest in a little girl. Being a guardian angel has big rewards.
