Who we are
Al Baker with some of the first kids of Casa Hogar
Casa Hogar Benito Juarez A.C. is a children’s home in Oaxaca, Mexico. Our first location was founded by Al Baker, a quadriplegic man from Irving, Texas in 1974. His vision was to care for and help the children of Oaxaca, but most importantly to share the love of God.
We are a children’s home that cares for children of all ages and we care for many children with special needs or disabilities. Many of our kids have single parents or are orphaned. Almost all of our kids come from indigenous villages in the mountains of Oaxaca where there is little to no education. Here at Casa they receive an education, are in a safe and loving environment, receive food and all other basic necessities, and learn about the Lord’s love for them.
Our mission statement is: “Providing a Better Future for Special Children”
