From 100 children in Mexico, only 13 reach University. Peraj Mexico works through one-on-one mentoring sessions between University students and children from public elementary schools. For 10 months both mentors and mentees are involved in activities that help develop their social skills. So far, we have worked with 27,000 kids and 27,000 mentors all over the country. We want to go further and take the program to 3 indigenous towns in Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas.
Yo quiero Yo puedo (IMIFAP) will reduce school dropout, improve the quality of education, school performance, promote a healthy lifestyle and improve opportunities for marginalized children and teenagers. This will be done in different states in Mexico through diverse efforts and programs that are focused on education and life skills.
Mayama develops life skills in 195 children & their families who face poverty, abuse, and violence in Mexico. With an innovative program, we empower their intellectual, emotional, physical, artistic & social abilities, so that they can take assertive decisions and become self sufficient members of society. We also carry out our "Ready for school" program with the 15% of our children who have never been to school, so that they can get the basic skills needed to start their studies successfully.
This project will build a learning center providing classes, activities and services designed to promote greater self-sufficiency to a rural community of over 500. This is a place where an environment of creativity, curiosity and cooperation can lead to personal pride, strength of character and vision to create a better life for future generations.
Contaminated drinking water kills millions of people each year. We train volunteers to fight water borne disease by testing drinking water and providing methods to make drinking water safe. We have active programs throughout Latin America and especially in Haiti where we are in the fight against cholera.
Provide 50,000 medical services (medical consultations, dental interventions, detection of diabetes mellitus, dry chemistry, detection of breast cancer, ultrasound to pregnant women and electrocardiograms) in Mexico to 10,000 persons. They are located in rural and indigenous communities of high marginalization and difficult access. The execution will be carried out through two Mobile Units close to the population, focused on the prevention, detection and treatment of ailments.
We ensure children with cancer stay in treatment by providing transportation their families cannot afford from distant rural communities to the hospital in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico. Many live one to nine hours away, making every appointment a barrier to survival. Without this free service, they would miss weekly chemotherapy or essential care. Our transportation guarantees they arrive safely and on time, preventing treatment interruption and giving each child a real chance to survive.
638 communities in this Reserve are struggling to make a living and are 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, by partnering 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.
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.
Coral reefs are very delicate environments that are currently becoming increasingly threatened all over the world, especially the mesoamerican barrier reef system, due to coastal developments, pollution & hurricanes. The federal government is undertaking an ambitious coral reef aquaculture program to restore the reef ecosystem, which, done alongside the preservation work conducted by local NGOs will be vital to the reefs sustainability as well as marine life it supports.
Abandoned and abused girls have the right to a family and should be protected. Every child deserves a loving family and education. Puerta Abierta is giving the tools to the girls so they can achieve their life project to become responsible, self-sufficient and independent adults. They will build healthy families and will not permit the abuse they suffered as they have learned to respect and love and won't repeat the pattern that hurt them. Being well educated and loved will change them forever
We will enroll 250 Mayan working children in school. We will also implement educational activities which complement their schooling, reinforcing their confidence in learning, and explaining what their rights are and how they are entitled to be treated at school, at home, and by society. We will accompany children and families in any case of violence or other abuse to ensure the issue is addressed by the authorities, securing specialist psychological, medical or legal support where necessary.
We will provide early stimulation and nutritional attention for indigenous girls and boys between 0 and 4 years of age, of limited resources and in high risk situations. With the project we seek to contribute to a healthy development of the cognitive and physical functions. Also, we will provide them with birth certificates and help them to enroll in preschool.
Children and teenagers facing cancer endure not only the harsh effects of treatment but also emotional stress-anxiety, fear, irritability, and withdrawal. Our play center provides a safe space that boosts motivation and mood through positive reinforcement, which helps strengthen their immune system and supports their special educational needs. This emotional and physical care is essential to improving their overall health and resilience during treatment.
We have worked for 17 years with the Wixarika Indigenous Community, delivering ONIformula to children with low weight and height, while providing nutritional followup, anemia treatment, and educational talks to improve dietary and hygiene habits. In August 2025 we launched ONImaterna, a multivitaminfortified complement with iron and folic acid designed to support mothers during pregnancy and lactation and to strengthen infants from the womb, promoting healthier early development.
Many young people in Mexico do not reach higher levels of education because their families cannot afford the costs of high school and college education. We are a program that helps indigenous students with scholarships so they have access to education while providing them with personal and developmental courses to overcome personal hurdles to reaching their dreams of a better life. Students give back to the community through ongoing service projects including tutoring local grade school children
Impacto textil is now starting to replicate and scale methodologies and tools as to serve 500 to 1000 artisans in a two-year timeframe (having worked with 200 Mayan women to improve production of textile handicrafts). Our work helps women to expand on their craft, teaching them advanced design principles and technical skills. With improved products, artisans gain increased access to ethical and fair trade markets and a secure income to support their families, mainly children and their community.
Children, young people and specifically girls become excluded and struggle to achieve optimal development because of social and economic inequality in Mexico. More importantly, girls that encounter such disadvantages become vulnerable to risky outcomes like dropping out of school, gender based violence, alcohol abuse, drug use and teen pregnancy.
