We're starting a new cycle filled with dreams!

By PERAJ MEXICO | Peraj Mexico

Thanks to your support, Peraj México A.C. begins a new activity cycle, running from September 2025 to June 2026, with excitement and commitment to continue accompanying children and youth in their integral development.

This year, 1,500 children and adolescents will take part in the Peraj – Inspiring Futures program, thanks to the collaboration of 45 Higher Education Institutions across different states of Mexico. Each university mentor will dedicate time, attention, and care to help strengthen their mentee’s confidence, social skills, and dreams.

Peraj is more than a program — it’s a meeting point between generations, a bridge that transforms lives through empathy, learning, and hope. In every session and through every activity, the possibility of a brighter future takes root.

During the previous cycle, many young mentors shared how this experience changed the way they see the world — and how their mentees began to dream of becoming engineers, doctors, artists, or teachers.

In this new cycle, we’ll continue strengthening:
Weekly mentoring sessions, where each mentor–mentee pair builds trust and self-esteem.
Training workshops for mentors, focused on leadership, inclusion, and emotional well-being.
Community activities, promoting values such as solidarity and participation.

Our goal is for every child to feel supported and capable of achieving their dreams.

None of this would be possible without people like you. Your contribution through GlobalGiving allows us to keep weaving stories of hope, expanding opportunities, and keeping alive the magic of believing in one another.

Thank you for being part of this network of hearts that changes lives.
Let’s keep building together a Mexico where every child knows that someone believes in them.

With gratitude,
The Peraj México A.C. Team

International Day of Women and Girls in Science

By PERAJ MEXICO | Peraj Mexico

Dear Donors,

We are pleased to share a summary of the activities held in honor of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. For the third consecutive year, this event took place across multiple campuses of the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente, with invaluable support from the coordinators of the Peraj program.

From February 8 to 15, a series of initiatives were organized to spark interest among girls and young women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), highlighting the crucial role of women in science and promoting gender equity in these fields. Key activities included:

Inspiring Talks and Lectures: Women scientists and academics shared their experiences and achievements in science and technology.
Interactive Workshops: Students and faculty engaged in hands-on scientific demonstrations and activities to encourage learning and curiosity.
Science Exhibitions and Fairs: Dedicated spaces showcased research and projects led by women at the university.
Discussion Panels: Experts and students discussed challenges and opportunities for women in science.

The participating campuses, all part of the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente in the state of Culiacán, included: Los Mochis, Guasave, Guamúchil, Culiacán, Mazatlán, El Rosario, and Escuinapa.

These efforts play a crucial role in closing the gender gap in science and technology. By shining a light on women leaders in STEM, we inspire young girls to explore their potential, build confidence, and envision new possibilities for their future. Additionally, we foster a culture of equity and inclusion in education and professional development, ensuring that female talent has equal opportunities to grow and succeed.

Thanks to your support and commitment, we have reached thousands of students and raised awareness about the importance of inclusion and female empowerment in the scientific field. We firmly believe that initiatives like these contribute to a more equitable society with greater opportunities for future generations.

We deeply appreciate your generosity and invite you to continue supporting our mission of inspiring and strengthening the role of women and girls in science.

With gratitude,
The Peraj Team
