Poverty in Mexico

Children growing up in poverty in Mexico face many challenges including gangs and drug trafficking, violence and poor diet and health as a result of inadequate health and educational systems.

That is why we focus on providing health and nutrition programs, educational programs and resources in our centers for children and youth, and empowerment programs for youth.

See how our program works and why we focus on health, education, empowerment and employment.
