In April 2005, Grace Children's Home opened its doors for the very first time!  Shortly thereafter, in June 2005, 16 children began living in the first two homes.  It all started with Tijuana pastor Martin Castro and his vision to reach the newly developing community of Los Porticos.  Grace Children's Home serves to minister to Mexican orphans and abandoned children.

The home has grown since then. Click here to view recent pictures of our children.

YUGO desires to build a ministry, not just a home.  A safe place for abandoned, abused and orphaned children is badly needed.  The ultimate goal is to find Christian homes in Mexico to permanently place these children.  Currently, there is no foster care system in Mexico, and so there is a need to train Mexican parents to learn how to be foster parents and to consider legal adoption. We also want to offer a rehabilitation ministry for parents wishing to leave abusive lifestyles.  You may download the Grace Children's Home Brochure (PDF) for complete information.   

Several years ago, Mexican Pastor Martin Castro and his church leaders began speaking and praying about the need for a home for children in their neighborhood.  It was then when a government official told them about the need for a foster home for children living with abusive or negligent parents.  This official knew of 500 children in immediate need of such a home. 

The final plan for the Children's Home is to construct 4 homes (housing 40 children), including an education center with classrooms, a library and a computer room.  Please download the Grace Children's Home Brochure (PDF) for more information.
