Who We Are:
We are on a mission to break the cycle of poverty by providing education opportunities to children in need.

Our Mission
We are on a mission to give students an opportunity to break out of the cycle of poverty through education.
Young people want the chance to get out of the farms and fields of Baja California. They want to learn. We help make it possible. Instead of a childhood of dawn-to-dark labor, children get scholarships to finish grade school, attend high school, and even earn a university degree.
A few dollars are all that stand between a childhood spent as a field worker and a future in a trade or profession of their choice. If a family can't afford fees, pay for expensive school uniforms, or even buy pencils and paper, then the children in that family can't go to school. It's just that simple.

Student and sponsor reunion. Thank you, @ward_xv for supporting Keyla.
We love when sponsors take a time to hang with their scholars. Ryan and Keyla had the opportunity to be together and have a chat, with a little help of translators.

Trip to the movie theater to celebrate Children's Day. Thank you to @rotaryensenadacalafia for this wonderful day. Our scholars had a joyous day. They had fun, hung out and enjoyed a film.


Thank you @theimpactmvmt for another remarkable collaboration with you.
This time we painted a mural at the San Miguel Middle School. Last year, The Impact Movement built the classroom and since then they have come back to keep working on the school facilities.
It is a pleasure to work along with you. See you soon, friends.
