Our Homes
Our homes house 50 children and young adults and are the core of the big family of AOGE. Our main office and our school are located in the same area of the city as all of our homes.
Each home operates like an ordinary family. Staff are hired to help with cooking and cleaning, but all the girls and boys also contribute according to their age and developmental level. Each home has live-in leaders that function as the parents. We developed a system where older children become big sisters or big brothers and help in caring for the younger ones.
The concept of a family home has been a wonderful resource in restoring a sense of belonging, dignity, and self-worth. The homes operate with a rhythm of simplicity and fellowship. Care, restoration, and hope for a future are available to everyone.
As all families do, our homes experience struggles at times with siblings not always getting along, and tasks not always being completed promptly. We see problems as opportunities to teach children respect, responsibility and how to have fun. We see smiles and hear laughter as the children sing, dance and play together.
Each home has its characteristics and its peculiarities. We now present to you each one of them:
Being a BIG family
Providing a family environment where there is much laughter and joy
Doing things with compassion, not to be recognized or to get something back
Having and sharing hope with those who have lost it
Rebuilding destroyed foundations and imparting dignity
Seeing redemption everyday

Make a difference in someone's life
Did you know that in Nepal alone, more than 12,000 girls are trafficked into the sex trade each year? Traffickers, eager for exorbitant profits, take advantage of the poverty, innocence and lack of information of many families to take their daughters to neighboring countries, where they will live the worst experiences a girl can suffer.
The Apple of God’s Eyes was created to combat this evil, helping victims and finding ways to prevent more precious lives from following this dark path. Contribute to this project now!
