ABOUT US

The Marsh Children's Home is a non-profit institution in Acapulco, Mexico, set up to assist and protect needy and homeless children. We provide them with a home where they can live, get food, education, medical attention and love. Founded in 1990 by Eduardo Castañon and Jovita Godínez, both raised as orphans in the Latin American Orphanage, the Marsh Home sympolizes their decision to dedicate their lives to helping unfortunate children. Eduardo passed away on February 4th, 2006 - but Jovita continues, as Director. She is dedicated to improving children's lives in this incredible and blessed project and to continuing to improve on Eduardo's legacy.

The Marsh Children's Home is located at kilometer 18 on the highway from Acapulco to Barra Vieja at Playa Bonfil. To visit, follow the road signs to the Acapulco International Airport, and take the Barra Vieja turnoff. At kilometer 18, at the end of the village of Bonfil you will see a sign for the Marsh Children's Home, located right on the beach. Here the children are housed and cared for by Jovita Godínez, her sister Ruth and her son César.
