Casa de la Esperanza Budget
Casa de la Esperanza can boast of being the most cost-efficient children’s home of its size in Mexico. In the last ten years we have only had two cost increases, and both were due to increased insurance and required staff benefits cost. Normally, Casa is home to 60-70 children, and the cost of raising each child averages $ 140.80 per month. It takes $ 9,152.00 per month and $ 109,824.00 per year to provide vital food, clothing, shelter, educational opportunities, and spiritual growth for our children, and all the funds come from donations. Casa receives no Mexican or U.S. government support. Please take a look at our detailed monthly and yearly budget below:
