Father Aguilera: La Casa Del Niño

La Casa del Niño it's an institution that lodges abandoned, disabled and with families in conflict children. The house was founded by Héctor Aguilera's father in 1969 and since then it is directed by him. It is the most important recognized charity work in the city of Córdoba. Today the institution lodges more than 600 children.

Father Aguilera's edifying work of caring abandoned children with no roof where to be protected, has 36 years of love. Father Aguilera found his destiny –that of helping children- en 1969, after a storm. The heavy rain made rivers to grow up their flow and the poor houses named “ranchos” were destroyed. There was desolation everywhere. Little brothers, with no house and no parents (one en jail, and the other who knew where), asked for help. Since that moment, the parish house has another function.

Now the House in Unquillo has 9 houses, and with the other 35 in different places, makes a true social initiative. At the present, more than 500 children in Unquillo, Río Ceballos, Candonga y Cuesta Blanca shows the growing and development of the institution. But Father Aguilera isn't alone: there is a legion of volunteers working as permanent mothers and transitory uncles for the children.
