Sustained Development

Our goal is to promote self-sufficiency and a strong social support system. Core parts of this program are

Food Relief Program: this program was started in May 2009 in response to our families' request for a basic necessity - food. You can sponsor a CARE package by clicking here.

Community Centers: the backbone of the comunidad Corazón program.  In order for our program to work effectively, a community center must be present in each of the communities. 

Exchanges: 'Purchasing' needed items with community service hours.

Sponsors: sponsor groups fund special events, classes and construction projects. This gives volunteers from the US an opportunity to help others while receiving an incredible life experience.

Family Sponsorship:  read about one of our participating families.

Senior Program: a monthly food allotment to our older participants

Cultural sharing: includes holiday celebrations

Voluntourism: 'working vacations' spend a weekend or weeks living and working side by side with the participants. Experience first hand the wonders of Mexico as you learn about your neighbors.

Tool and Craft sales: proceeds go directly to support educational program.
