A Safe, Healthy, Empowering Environment
Having a safe space to heal and deal with trauma is a game-changer for women and children, who are among the most vulnerable populations in the world.
To be physically and emotionally safe, while having access to programs and services directed by mental and health care providers can be the difference between living in trauma and thriving in life.
Crisis & Resource Centers
Covid-19 has drastically worsened the situation for poverty-stricken families in Mexico.
Our most vulnerable, women and children, are living without fundamental human needs.
❌ Food
❌ Shelter
❌ Clothing
❌ Opportunities to generate income
Due to lack of funds and resources we were forced to close the Crisis & Resource Center in Rosarito, Baja California that helped:
✔️ Single mothers that have lost or are losing their homes, that have fallen victim to domestic violence or have turned to drugs and substances.
✔️ Neglected and abandoned children who have never attended school, or are much more likely to drop out, fall victim to trafficking, homelessness, or worse.
