''Casa Global Gift will be an inclusive help center that will not leave out any child with problems, no matter what their situation."  In this way, the Global Gift House will be a space where associations can set up their social and administrative headquarters to carry out all management and internal coordination activities, and which, in turn, will serve as a space of welcome, attention, and information for families who wish to receive their guidance.
