HOPe has partnered with Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers for several years through the support of Posadita del Buen Pastor, The Good Shepard Inn, which began as a shelter for children with medical conditions. The purpose was to provide shelter, food and medical care.
Because of the success of preventing mother-to-child transmission of infectious diseases.

La Posadita has now become a shelter for abused young women and children who have been victims of human trafficking, and those living in extreme poverty.
With HOPe’s help we provide these young vulnerable girls safety and education. 
Currently sixteen girls between the ages of 11 and 18 reside at the Inn.  The Good Shepherd Sisters administer the program and five Sisters live at the Inn.  Six employees and 25 volunteers also assist in providing for their health, wellbeing, protection and education.
