The reality of the Wixarika Communities in need

By ONI | ONI

Querido donante, 

Esta vez queremos contarte sobre las comunidades donde residen nuestros niños de la Sierra Wixárika, ya que es importante conocer las condiciones de vida que atraviesan estas familias diariamente. Se trata de zonas aisladas con escasas oportunidades de trabajo, que solamente involucran labores en campo o venta de algunas artesanías.Esto les genera un ingreso de solamente $1000 MXN mensuales por familia.  

Dicha cifra pone en una situación desventajosa a las familias de la Sierra, pues si se toma en cuenta que el promedio de personas pertenecientes a una familia son 5 integrantes, esto nos indica que las familias solo disponen de $6.50 MXN por integrante para cubrir sus necesidades diarias, entre ellas, la alimentación. Esto orilla a las madres y padres a adecuarse a una dieta que se ajuste a sus posibilidades, lo que desafortunadamente no siempre conlleva una buena nutrición. Por lo anterior, es imprescindible que las niñas y niños de las Comunidades Wixárikas tengan acceso a alimentos de calidad con todos los micro y macronutrientes esenciales para un buen desarrollo. 

 

¡Gracias a tu ayuda podemos proveerles de ellos mes con mes! 

 

 

 

 

Dear donor, 

 

This time we’d like to tell you about the communities where the children we attend at the Sierra Wixárika live in, since it's important to know about the conditions that those families face daily. Those are isolated zones with very few work-related opportunities, only including country labor and the selling of some of their handicrafts. This generates an income of only $1000 MXN monthly per family. 
 
 

This number positions the families in a very disadvantaged scenario: if we consider that 5 members is the average number of people in a family, this indicates those communities only have $6.50 MXN per person to cover their daily needs, including food intake. This forces the mothers and fathers to opt for a diet that adjusts to their financial possibilities, which unfortunately is not always correlated to good nutrition. Because of this, it’s crucial that girls and boys from the Wixárika Communities have access to nutritious meals with all the micro and macronutrients essential for their optimal development. 

 

Thanks to your help, we can provide those month by month!
