Jovita, who remains Director, is dedicated to improving children's lives through this incredible and blessed project and continuing to improve on Eduardo's legacy.

Over the years the Marsh Home has been caring for some of Acapulco's most vulnerable and underprivileged children, Jovita Godiñez and "Hogar Infantil Marsh" have received a myriad of awards.

We believe that the best way to ensure that the children at Marsh Children’s Home have a better life is to provide them with an atmosphere of dignity and respect in a safe environment full of Love. Education is our primary goal. All the children are required to go to school and complete their studies. A good education is the best way of ending the cycle of poverty that exists in the communities from which these wonderful children come.  Learn more about the Four Principles.
