DONATE

With the accompaniment and extracurricular support, they will reinforce academic knowledge and skill development to achieve the conclusion of the academic year. At the end of this school year, we ensure that 20 students will achieve their registration to the next educational level

In the Sierra Tarahumara, Chihuahua, Mexico live indigenous students with limited access to educational centers in their own communities, when they arrive at their school they have traveled from 2 to 9 hours.

Long-Term Impact

From our mission we propose to ensure that the indigenous youth of the Sierra Tarahumara contribute to the transformation of their communities through their participation in formative and relevant processes.

At the end of this school year, we ensure that 20 students will achieve their registration to the next educational level: high school or universit
