For 34 years, AIDI has provided refuge to vulnerable boys ages 6-17 in Mexico fleeing violence, sexual abuse, torture, slavery, extreme poverty, abandonment and other severe adversities. We offer comprehensive care: holistic formation, quality education, professional psychological support, healthcare, nutritious meals, and 24/7 trained care. At $27,444 per child annually, your donation sustains transformative care-funding not just survival but healing, development, and successful futures.
When families become dangerous or collapse, children need comprehensive care addressing deep trauma. They carry psychological wounds, educational delays, health problems, and zero life skills. Traditional shelters provide only survival-bed, food, supervision. But traumatized children need professional psychological treatment, quality education, healthcare, consistent caring adults, and preparation for independent living. Without holistic support, they return to danger or face lives of poverty.
AIDI provides 24/7 comprehensive care through a robust professional team that restores dignity and delivers guidance, individual trauma therapy, and disability support. Quality education enrollment with extensive tutoring closes learning gaps. Comprehensive medical, dental, and psychiatric care, and nutritious meals address health neglect. Life skills training, sports, arts, and therapeutic activities build independence capabilities. This integrated model directly targets each trauma dimension.
AIDI creates lasting transformation: IMMEDIATE (Year 1)-Safety, trauma treatment, school enrollment, healthcare, trust in adults. MEDIUM-TERM (Years 2-5)-Grade-level academics, behavioral stability, emotional regulation, life skills. LONG-TERM-90% graduate high school, gain employment, form healthy families, break poverty cycles. This holistic model heals trauma, builds capabilities, and prepares boys for independent futures, breaking cycles of poverty and violence.
