Children who are Deaf in Mexico are most often sent to public school. There are no teachers or interpreters there who use Mexican Sign Language. The children are left to languish, virtually untaught, in the classroom with no means to communicate. EEESMA School for the Deaf is changing all that; offering an education in sign language and written Spanish to children who are Deaf. The students' mothers and families are also given the opportunity to learn sign language.

This comprehensive program also provides technical trainings, water awareness education, water quality testing for local communities, and accompanying technical manuals and educational supplements.
Our project aims to restore and conserve the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve's (MBBR) forest ecosystem and improve the quality of life of its human population. We facilitate peer-led workshops where local farmers learn to use their natural resources sustainably and contribute to the conservation and restoration of the MBBR ecosystem.This unique forest provides critical winter habitat for millions of monarch butterflies that migrate to Mexico from Canada and the United States every fall.
638 communities in this Reserve are struggling with making a living and losing their most vital resources. The people in Sierra Gorda care about and can help protect cloud forests which have dwindled to just 2% of their original coverage in partnership with us, proud to see wildlife return. Conservation has to happen on their land, some of Mexico's most threatened ecosystems that shelter the magnificent margay (Leopardus wiedii), ocelot and endangered jaguar. Education, income and protection.
