Since 1964, the organization has supported poor children and families in Antigua, Guatemala. They have worked with community leaders and have received support from the Ministry of Health and the Rotary Club. In 2001, the program was officially named Asociación Casa del Niño. It employs 8 people and is managed by a board of directors. The association works together with other institutions, private as well as public.

The goal of the Asociacion Casa del Niño is to create, develop, and facilitate programs and workshops that strengthen and support the education, health, sports, art and culture for youth. The association represents an effort to improve the lives of at-risk children and teenagers.
The Asociación Casa del Niño offers its own dental clinic, a day-care center that works for the two night schools, and drawing and painting courses on Fridays and Saturdays in which children, teenagers and adults participate. Additionally, they offer expositions and contests, and furthermore offer different activities on holidays and special occasions (Mother’s Day, Saints’ Days, Children’s Day, toy marathon, etc).

The Escuela Taller Nino Obrero project is a Guatemalan, non-governmental organization. It was founded on March 14th, 1993 by Carlos Toledo and it is located in Antigua.
The purpose of the program is to provide education, nutrition and recreation to children who come from families with little means. The goal of the program is to instill good hygiene, good habits, and to keep youth away from the dangers of the streets.

The Escuela Taller Niño Obrero supplies an alternative to life on the streets for at risk children. Children of poor families normally are not able to attend school due to lack of funds and instead need to work in order to help their families with money for food and rent.

Vuelta Grande is a community located approximately 25 minutes from Antigua, Guatemala. It has a population of 1,200 people, all of whom are indigenous. The people of Vuelta Grande live on the crops they are able to cultivate, and from the sales of their products at the market in Antigua. Furthermore, they do not have access to public transportation and have limited electricity and water.
The purpose and goal of Escuela Vuelta Grande is to provide primary education to all children. Currently, there are about 150 children at the school (ages 4 to 15 years old) all of whom live in extreme poverty.

Centro Lingüístico “La Unión” has assisted and supported the project for the past two years in repairing, painting, supporting the school, and assisting with other needed services. A health center, boys and girls bathrooms, and a stadium have been built, which have been an additional benefit to the students. With the help of individual volunteers and volunteer groups from many countries, the project has been able to make a huge difference in the lives of children.
