Casa de Amparo

In our country, there is a child abused every minute, according to experts.  In San Diego County, about 75,000 calls are placed to the San Diego Child Abuse Hotline annually and about 10,000 substantiated cases of child abuse are reported.

Fortunately, for hundreds of hurt and abandoned children, there is Casa de Amparo. Casa de Amparo provides safe shelter and a continuum of prevention and treatment services to abused, neglected and at-risk infants, children and teens and their families in San Diego County.

Casa de Amparo is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in Oceanside, part of San Diego County California.

"Amparo" is a Spanish word that translates into the feeling we strive to create for abused and neglected children and their families. It means to embrace, to offer protection, aid, comfort and rest. As a "House of Refuge," Casa de Amparo provides a safe shelter and help when a children and their families need it the most.

Casa de Amparo provides child abuse prevention/remediation programs: a 24-hour children's shelter; a daily preschool child development center; supervised family visitation services, and a counseling program.
