Casa de los Pobres, USA

At this special time of the year, our thoughts turn gratefully to our team, clients, business partners, and everyone else who has offered their support. 

It is in this spirit that we are making a donation this holiday season in the name of our team and clients to La Casa de los Pobres, a Mexican non-profit community center that provides food, educational support, toys, shoes, healthcare, etc. to the poorest children and families in Mexico. 

We believe that companies should be socially responsible for the world, and we enjoy putting those beliefs into action every day within the Hispanic community.   

As a member of the Mobvious and Prisa Team, we would like to invite you to participate in this #ActOfKindness. 

During this time of the year, giving is more important than receiving! We hope you like our initiative and support us in this effort.


About Casa De Los Pobres in Tijuana, Mexico

The name of this organization means “House of the Poor” in Spanish. It was originally founded in 1957 by Franciscan sisters in the Colonia Altamira neighborhood of Tijuana, Mexico.

For more than 50 years, Casa de los Pobres has served the “poorest of the poor” in Tijuana. These families live in nothing more than shacks with cardboard walls that don’t keep out the cold or rain. (A blanket is each family’s prized possession, and tarps are highly coveted by the people of the Casa in the rainy season.)

In some areas, the roads become impassable due to large ruts and mud, leaving the residents stranded without food for days. The poor and destitute people that come to the Casa’s doors are sick, hungry, frightened, and cold — but also humble and hopeful.

The Casa provides poor families with:   

A hearty breakfast each morning — usually meat with beans and rice, oatmeal and milk, and always hot tortillas. For many parents and children, this may be their only meal of the day.
A bag of groceries once a week on “Bodega Day” 
Clothes that have been donated to the Casa
Other home supplies (visitors to the Casa may need soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and other basic necessities)
General medical care
Education
