‘Casa Hogar Sion’ Orphanage

Helping the Children since November 2000

OUR MISSION

Our mission is simple – to show up and help improve the lives of the children of Casa Hogar Sion in anyway we can. Long term, our goal is to rehabilitate the home and possibly purchase additional land. In the mean time there are hungry children to feed, to shelter, keep safe and send to school.

Join us for a one day, there and back trip to visit an orphanage in Tijuana, home to 80+ kids. The children range from
infants to teenagers.

Who We Are

Since November 2000, Adam Smith and his wife, Leigh Kilton-Smith, have been traveling with a group of friends to Tijuana, Mexico every four to five weeks to spend weekends with the more than 80 children at the Casa Hogar Sion orphanage. In 2001, they met Jim McAleer, and together the three friends now raise support for Sion through quarterly one-day, round-trip bus visits and generous donations from friends and family.
