How to sponsor a child in Mexico?

Julio 16, 2021

    Mexico, the neighboring country of the United States, is the fifteenth largest economy in the world, has a population of 127,792,000 people and a remarkable manufacturing industry, however, approximately half of its population lives in poverty, there is unemployment, a high rate of violence and corruption. It is estimated that there are approximately 900 orphanages in Mexico, in which there are around 30,000 children. Only in the city of Tijuana, there are over 100 of these institutions, each one with between 40 and up to 100 minors. These organizations handle the education, feeding, care, development, and insertion into the society of hundreds of children.

    Circumstances in the country are complicated, so the situation of children in parental distress is not one priority. The number of institutions for sheltering unprotected children provided by the government is insufficient, so most of the orphanages in Tijuana and throughout Mexico are private institutions. It is estimated that approximately 80% of the orphanages in Mexico are private.

    The future of these children is compromised by circumstances beyond their control, since in most cases they do not receive a quality education, the food they need, professional guidance, or psychological care, but you can change their future. Sponsor a child in Mexico means giving them the opportunities they will need to develop in the working world in the future and become an autonomous adult.

    If you are looking to sponsor a child in Mexico, you must make sure that it is through a transparent institution that can show you how your donations are spent and what the results are.

Fundación Esperanza Contigo has a development model based on three effective strategies:

1. Relationship with volunteers and donors:

Our donors can rest assured that their help benefits those who should benefit, as we constantly keep them informed about how resources are managed in each of the orphanages. We are based on a principle of transparency that allows us to make the most of each resource we have.

2. Continuous development of the institutional model:

We work in a constant review to be able to achieve the maximum social impact, in this way we can identify the opportunities for improvement and work on them.

3. Implementation and monitoring of support programs:

We have four programs that ensure optimal performance of the Foundation, which, coordinated with each other, solve all the needs of our beneficiaries in a timely and effective manner. Each department oversees a particular task, thus ensuring that we cover not only the primary requirements of our children, but all those needs that may arise.

What does Fundación Esperanza Contigo do?

Sponsor a child in Mexico through Fundación Esperanza Contigo means dignifying the lives of children and providing them with all the necessary tools to fully develop in the future. This is possible thanks to the four programs implemented by the Foundation:

1. Better equipped homes: it is responsible for the repair and equipping of the orphanages, thus ensuring a functional, pleasant, and safe space for all our children. We have the collaboration of specialists and professionals such as architects, engineers and designers who make sure to become orphanages in places that contribute to the excellent development of children.

2. Happier kids: in this program we ensure comprehensive care and development of children, providing the opportunity for a better quality of life in the future. We provide children with the necessary tools for the development of identity, values, technical capacities, and competences so that they can compete in the world that awaits them.

3. Young people with more opportunities: with this program, we offer young people the best tools so that when they leave the orphanage, they can develop successfully in the professional and personal sphere. We always have the support of our donor companies to find job opportunities. We take care of giving useful workshops that will promote the professional success of young people.

4. Most committed volunteers: program with which we provide continuous training for better development of our youth and volunteers.
