Empowering vulnerable children and communities through faith-driven missionary work
Homes of Life is an international, faith‑based ministry serving at risk children through residential care, trusted partnerships, and dedicated support teams in the United States, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. Grounded in decades of service, the organization brings hope, stability, and healing to vulnerable children while stewarding donor support with integrity and measurable, life‑changing impact.
Creating Lasting Impact
Since its founding in Guatemala in 1992 and Costa Rica in 1995, Homes of Life is an international, faith-based NGO dedicated to protecting and restoring at-risk children.
Originally operating under the Children of Promise International umbrella after 30 years we have created a dedicated non-profit. We have made this thoughtfully considered change to ensure we stay laser-focused on our vision, mission, and partner resources.
Hogar de Vida is now an independent, registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit EIN: 33-3531819, as of June 2025. This transition ensures donor support is stewarded in the most measured way, measuring impact through daily care outcomes, child stability, reunification progress, growth and long-term well-being. Every gift directly sustains life-changing, on-the-ground care where it is needed most in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and through our monthly US mission teams that grow in their faith.
Homes of Life:
- Operates residential children’s homes (Hogar de Vida) in Costa Rica and Guatemala
- Provides daily care including housing, food, education, medical care, and psychological support
- Employs caregivers, teachers, nurses, psychologists, and administrative staff
- Partners with government child protection agencies (such as Costa Rica’s PANI) to care for children removed from unsafe environments
- Hosts mission teams and long‑term volunteers who assist with caregiving, maintenance, outreach, and operations
