The beautiful town of Huehuetoca is an important historical site. It is located in a fertile region at a distance of approximately 50 km north from Mexico City, Federal State of México. SOS Children's Village Huehuetoca was set up after a terrible earthquake hit the whole region in 1985. This catastrophe caused many children to lose their parents, and many others have been abandoned as a result of the difficult social situation.

The SOS Children's Village has been erected on an area of about 35,000 sq. m. which was donated by the municipality of Huehuetoca. It consists of twelve family houses, the house of the village director, an aunts' or family helpers' house, a room for support classes, an auditorium, a multi-purpose hall with a library and an administration and service area. There is also a counseling room for a psychologist. The SOS Children's Village has the capacity to become a new home for up to 108 children. It has been in operation since 1988; the official opening took place in July 1989 in the presence of Mr Helmut Kutin, the president of SOS-Kinderdorf International.

SOS Children's Village Huehuetoca also has an SOS Youth Facility, where young people gradually prepare for independent life. Children from the SOS Children's Village attend the schools and kindergartens of the surrounding area.
