For the education of Tarahumara indigenous youth

Challenge

In the Sierra Tarahumara, Chihuahua, Mexico live indigenous students with limited access to educational centers in their own communities, when they arrive at their school they have traveled from 2 to 9 hours. In 2020, without technologies and the internet, at least 80% dropped out of school. In addition, the inequity in access to inclusive education for indigenous adolescents and youth motivates that in the absence of food and family income, their education occupies a second or third place.

Long-Term Impact

From our mission we propose to ensure that the indigenous youth of the Sierra Tarahumara contribute to the transformation of their communities through their participation in formative and relevant processes. For this reason, we will accompany with training sessions to ensure that 120 students remain in the school system in the academic year 2021-2022. At the end of this school year, we ensure that 20 students will achieve their registration to the next educational level: high school or universit
