SAFE HAVEN

La Casita

La Casita, “The Little House,” was born in harder times. When gang violence made the streets unsafe during school vacation, La Red opened its doors so children ages 6 to 13 could spend their break learning, laughing and simply being kids.

El Salvador is safer today, but La Casita remains a beloved tradition. Every school vacation, for five weeks, 120 children enjoy computer and English classes, art, values, field trips, a daily snack and a warm lunch.

🎒 Lasting Impact: On the final day, each child goes home with a new backpack, school supplies, and the quiet confidence of a kid who knows they matter.
