About Us
Casa de Esperanza is a ministry project of The InterAmerican Restoration Corporation - a 501c3 Not For Profit corporation. The "House of Hope" was completed in early 2006 and was licensed to care for up to 24 children. On June 26th the first 5 children arrived and we now have 15 children who call Casa de Esperanza their home.How CdE came to be…
The dream began in April of 2005. The IRC Board was considering the purchase of a parcel of land in Santa Ana. The same weekend, Jennifer Wright made it known that she felt called to come to Honduras to take care of children in need. The land was purchased, the plans were drawn, others shared the dream and Casa de Esperanza became a reality. Karen Vaughan saw the vision and joined Jennifer as a director of Casa de Esperanza. The ground was "officially broken" in July and construction began in earnest in October. By December, most of the work was complete and there was a celebration. The first container of supplies and furniture arrived in February and Jennifer and Karen were able to move in by March. Our months of "red tape" finally ended in early summer of 2006, and on June 23rd INFA approved Casa de Esperanza as a facility to be home for up to 24 children. Children that will no longer be orphans, because orphans don't have anyone to love them and our kids will be loved on 24/7!
