Hogar Welch Infantil (Welch Home for Children)

Hogar Welch Infantil is an orphanage in the wonderfully-named town of Zacatecoluca (Sa-ca-te-co-LU-ca), El Salvador. LACF completed a series of improvements to the facilities. We repaired the muddy, unpaved courtyard, replaced much of the roof, and remodeled the kitchen. We also installed a bank of showers. Previously, the children were showered in the yard with a garden hose. (The girls got their showers early (4am!), before the boys were awake!)

LACF donations remodeled this old kitchen.

The children get excellent care, so LACF has worked to improve the facilities.

These new showers, build with LACF donations, were a big improvement over the garden hose children once had to use.
