The Orfanato Niños y Niñas de Cristo orphanage was founded in La Romana more than 16 years ago by Sonia Hane (“mom” of the Orfanato), and is a wonderful project which not only educates but also provides a loving home and family to the more than 200 orphans who live there.

In recent years, the Casa de Campo community has supported the orphanage with numerous fundraising occasions (see below) and more recently was visited by famous singer, Marc Anthony, who following a very successful fundraising campaign with his foundation “Maestro Cares” came to break ground at the orphanage’s new location – which will consist of comfortable rooms, a kitchen area, laundry service, dining room, library, chapel, shops, classes, computer rooms, baseball for future little leaguers and education in modern art.
