Asociación Infantil Hogar Sol
The NGO receives 50% of government aid and welcomes children at social risk, in situations of abuse, sexual and physical aggression.
They receive children between 0 and 12 years old. They have capacity for 20 children.
These kids are usually delayed at school, so at home they receive support to achieve school integration and reach their level as quickly as possible.
Their stay is temporary, from 6 months to a year and a half, depending on how long it takes for the judicial process to decide whether the children return to their family, or a close family member, or that custody is withdrawn parents definitely, so they go through the adoption process, and their stay is now in a permanent orphanage.

– Food (milk, cereals, beans, preserves, pasta, oil …)
– Personal hygiene items (gel, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, diapers, baby wipes, baby cream, talcum powder …)
