What
We Do

We have been transforming vulnerable lives in Chile for 80 years to get them fully inserted into society.

Hogar de Cristo USA Inc. initiated activities in the United States on June 6, 2006. With Pompano Beach, FL offices, the 501 (C) 3 foundation promotes solidarity, advocates, and raises funds for Hogar de Cristo, Chile. More than 250 programs and sites assist over 42,000 people yearly throughout Chile. It is one of Chile’s most extensive and active charities—founded by Fr. Alberto Hurtado, SJ, on October 19, 1944.

We welcome with love each person in need to heal their wounds and carefully customize to meet each user (one-on-one) to know their unique needs, offering new opportunities.

Thematic we cover through programs:

a) Older Adults.
b) Daycare and Preschools.
c) Homelessness..
d) Children/Youth abuse.
e) Drug/Alcohol abuse.
f) Education for At-Risk children/youth excluded from the public system.
g) Job inclusion. Strengthen the skills and competencies of the most disadvantaged groups excluded from the labor market, with long stories of unemployment and deprivations (most are Women).
h) Mental disability inclusion. Goal: improve skills–training, and employment.
