Salesian Missions Funds Comprehensive Care for Youths at the Casa Hogar
(ANS – Colima, Mexico – June 12, 2026) – Thanks to funding from Salesian Missions of New Rochelle, the Salesians in Mexico have been able to support 62 young people in vulnerable situations at the Casa Hogar in Colima. The young people at the center have faced situations of vulnerability due to abandonment, physical and psychological violence, or an unsafe family environment. Some joined the program after living on the streets. A Salesian working at the center explained: “One of the most significant outcomes of this period has been the ability to retain the entire interdisciplinary team, meaning the young people have had the same support staff, which has fostered their emotional stability, bonds of trust, and the effectiveness of therapeutic and educational processes.” Having received continuous support, the Salesians noted that these young people experienced a reduction in severe behavioral crises, improved emotional regulation, and strengthened bonds with the educational team. As for their education, 85% of the young people maintained or improved their academic performance.
