Empower Highly Outcast Children and Their Families

In this first quarter of the year, we have achieved the development of 190 training sessions in the My Development program with 191 girls and boys of generation 5 and 6. The sessions have been developed with a focus on the promotion of environments with greater equity and equality. The children have expressed their ideas in sketches about how they wish to transform their spaces into more equitable places, where boys and girls are respected on equal terms and are not violated because of their condition as children or their gender.

During this period, we have also been making preparations for the graduation event of 76 boys and girls of generation 5, from their four-year educational process with Mayama, which will take place on March 5 in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco. This result is the consolidation of a formative process, in which these children and their 54 families have acquired the life, social, emotional, cognitive and communicative skills that enable them to develop in the community, and the parental skills and competencies for good family functioning.

We are proud of the work done this quarter during which we have benefited 195 children and 128 families, and 730 direct beneficiaries.

These beneficiaries have participated in activities that seek to create more egalitarian and equitable environments, using the design thinking methodology, which uses creativiy and play to teach and achieve changes to improve quality life. During this period, the following sessions have been held:

Inspire which consists of sensitizing families about the different forms of inequality, specifically the relationships between men and women, adults and children that are identified among people in everyday life.

Research that delves into the problem of inequality from families through a research process using different means such as interviews, internet consultations, books, etc.

And the ideate session that aims for families to identify situations of inequality that surround them based on what they investigated so that they can choose a specific problem and initiate the design of a creative solution proposal.
