Hogar de Niņos - Cristo Sana |
| |
Cristo Sana - Los Niņos was established in 1996. The programs aim was to help the street children of Nicaragua. Los Niņos opened its doors to children ranging from ages 4-18 who had been abused or abandoned by their families. Many young children walk the streets of Granada and look for ways to fight the pain of hunger. Some have become addicted to sniffing glue. The glue is cheap, easily accessible, and it  curbs their hunger pains. These unfortunate children can be seen sleeping in doorways and begging on the streets. Their eyes are "glassy" and their stares are vacant. Los Niņos provided them with food, shelter, clothing, and basic hygiene needs. The staff also monitored the health of the children.
The needs of Los Niņos grew and a desire to provide housing and quality care for the boys became a prayer. In August 2003 a new building was completed and was dedicated by Archbishop Alfred C. Hughes, Archdiocese of New Orleans and Bishop Fitoria of Granada and renamed Hogar de Niņos Cristo Sana. It operates under the direction of the Diocese of Granada. The complex currently houses 10 boys. The facility has dorm rooms, a counseling clinic, chapel, commissary, craft room, computer room and preventative care dental clinic. |
