De Rode Duivels op het WK 1986 in Mexico

1986 World Cup Mexico — The beginning of Casa Hogar

Why we run

In 1986, the Red Devils founded a home for street children at the World Cup in Mexico. Today, 40 years later, we still give them a home.

With the Casa Hogar Beach Run we want to raise funds and strengthen our network. All proceeds go to Casa Hogar & Mamastart.

"Thanks to the home in Toluca, hundreds of children have found their way to a better future." Dr Michel D'Hooghe — Founder

Every step gives a child a home

Casa Hogar offers orphaned and street children in Mexico a chance at a better future by taking them to school every day and supporting them in their studies.

All proceeds go to Casa Hogar and Mamastart.
