The Esperanza orphanage has been in the southwest part of Tijuana for over 20 years and sits on an unusually large piece of land for being in such an urban area. The home has about 55 children ranging in age from newborn to 15 years old. They have a need of updating their dormitories and are still struggling in have sufficient funds to pay their basic everyday needs like utilities and school costs. The orphanage directors instill proper ethics and the children are very enthusiastic about their education.
