Hogar de Niños Fátima provides a Home to Guatemala’s

most vulnerable children


ABOUT OUR HOME



 * Our History
 * Our Purpose
 * Our Children

OUR HISTORY


OUR HISTORY:

In 2002, our founder, Attorney Barbara Cofiño, after decades of working in child
protection, realized that all too often the children were taken from abusive
families and placed in institutions that were ill-equipped to provide quality
care for the children.

Barbara decided to open her own children’s home, one that treated the children
like family, and Hogar de Niños Fátima was born.

OUR PURPOSE


OUR PURPOSE:

Over the past sixteen years we have become a model for child protection.

We strive to provide the same level of care for the children in our Home as we
would want for our own sons and daughters.

Every child who stays at Hogar de Niños Fátima is part of our family and
receives housing, a balanced diet, clothing, access to education, health care,
psychological support, legal assistance, and lots of love!

 

Our goal Is to ensure that whenever the children leave our Home they are
well-prepared for whatever future awaits them.

OUR CHILDREN


OUR CHILDREN

Our Home can house up to 42 children. Newborns, toddlers, and children up to
seven years old are placed in our care by order of a Family Court Judge.

The children have often been removed from their families or caregivers for
reasons of abuse, abandonment, or neglect.

The child stays with us while a government agency investigates the child’s
family in order to see if there is a family member who is able to receive the
child. This process can take weeks, months, or in some cases years.

Most children are reunified with a family member after several months in care.
When no family is found, the child will be declared eligible for adoption and
the National Adoption Agency begins the process of finding a suitable family.

Currently only families in Guatemala or eligible to adopt Guatemalan children.

LUDOTECA


ACTIVITY CENTER

Our activity center includes a stage, a computer area, a library, a rack of
dress-up clothes, coloring books, and tables for doing homework.

In the morning our teacher spends time with the pre-school age children playing
with play-dough, drawing in coloring books, and playing games that teach fine
motor skills.

In the afternoon, the older children work on their homework and when they are
finished, rush to the computer to play games.





NURSERY


NURSERY

Our nursery is actually four separate rooms.  We are able to provide care for 14
infants and toddlers in the nursery.

There is always a nurse on duty with our smallest children. When they are not
eating or sleeping, they are nearly always in the baby play area.

A large room filled with bright colors, lots of toys, and a soft floor so that
our babies can explore.



BEDROOMS


BEDROOMS

The children’s rooms were beautifully decorated by volunteers. The boys love
their airplanes and the girls have an enchanted forest full of butterflies and
green trees.

A childcare worker stays in the room with the children during the night so there
is always someone on hand in case of an emergency or to comfort a homesick
child.

Our older children, those who have been a part of our Home for many years, have
their own rooms to offer them a bit more privacy.



FACILITIES


OTHER AREAS

We also have a kitchen, a laundry room, an office for the psychologist, and a
small clinic to host weekly visits from the doctor. While we use all of the
rooms, the kitchen and laundry room are certainly the most busy!

Many of the children are undernourished when they arrive and we have a monthly
menu prepared for us by a dietitian. Every day our cook prepares breakfast, two
snacks, lunch, and dinner for the children.

The laundry room has several washing machines that seem to spin more often than
not, washing endless amounts of clothing for our fun-loving children who love to
decorate themselves with dirt, black beans, and finger paint,
