Casa Emilie
Herb and Emilie Steiner
A generous gift in 2022 from Dr. Herbert Steiner of Berkeley, California, enabled Oaxaca Youth Empowerment and Centro de Esperanza Infantil to open a satellite center in Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán. The center is named Casa Emilie in honor of Dr. Steiner’s late wife, Emilie. “She wanted to help the children of Oaxaca,” he said. “I am just carrying out her wishes.”
Casa Emilie offers a nutrition program, educational and medical services, as well enrichment activities for students and parents.
“Fifty years ago, my wife first visited Oaxaca and fell in love with its people, their culture, and their way of life. In the intervening years deep friendships developed, and she returned often to experience the beauty of the region and the warmth of the people. At the same time, she saw a lot of abject poverty ... and decided to try to help to expand the educational opportunities of the poor children in the region, and thereby to offer them a brighter future.” — Dr. Herbert Steiner
