Casa Amor is a non-profit organization founded on the simple belief that food, shelter and education are basic human rights every child should enjoy, and that it is our duty to ensure they receive them. The group was founded by Maria Barroso and Maria Hernandez who saw first-hand the poverty and basic essentials missing from the lives of many orphaned children in the Dominican Republic.
The founders often traveled to the island for business purposes and realized there was a need to create an organization where funds and awareness would be raised to build shelters to house, feed and educate these children, one village at a time.
