Our Story
Founded by Eduardo Castañon and Jovita Godínez, Marsh Children’s Home is a sanctuary for orphans and misplaced youngsters in Acapulco, Mexico. Both founders were raised in the Latin American Orphanage run by Lawrence and Alice Marsh, who inspired them to dedicate their lives to helping children in need. After raising their own four children, Eduardo and Jovita opened Marsh Home to provide love, protection, and a nurturing environment for the next generation of vulnerable youth.
Since its inception, the home has grown from caring for 30 children to approximately 60, ensuring that every child has their own bed. Many of these children come from indigenous backgrounds in the impoverished Sierra Madre mountains, bringing with them hope and energy despite their challenging circumstances.
