 | | Founded in Guatemala in 1981, and expanded into Honduras and Mexico in 1986, Casa Alianza serves some 4,000 street children a year, most of whom have been orphaned by civil war, abused or rejected by dysfunctional and poverty-stricken families, and further traumatized by the indifference of the societies in which they live. |
 | | In response to the growing number of street girls who become pregnant in Guatemala City and Mexico City and to prevent the deaths of babies there who are dying from lack of care, Casa Alianza initiated the 'Mums and Babies' program for street girls and their children. |
 | | In February 1994, a Legal Aid Office for Street Children was also established in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and in February 1997 in Mexico City; in May 1998, in San Pedro Sula Honduras; and in June 1998 in Managua, Nicaragua. |
