Help marginalized Mexican children and teenagers

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools closed and had to migrate their educational model to an online system, generating negative consequences on the development of the social tissue, especially in the most vulnerable communities in our country.

With the purpose of changing this situation and contributing to the comprehensive well-being of boys and girls, at the end of 2021 we carried out a program in schools of three rural communities in the state of Puebla, which consisted of giving teachers training sessions in highly relevant topics such as: life skills, learning through play, techniques for teaching through art, use of creativity as a means of social cohesion, elimination of psycho-social barriers, management of emotions, among others.

Later, in February of this year, we held family gatherings to share the artistic creations of the boys and girls. Showing creativity and how with the use of disposable materials they were able to give life to works of art, allowed families to realize the importance of sharing experiences in person and reinforce interactions as a community to recognize each other as part of the same team.

Today we know that communities commitment is vital to promote changes at a personal, family and, therefore, social level. That is why we want to give continuity to this great project and continue generating positive changes in the environments of the communities in Mexico.

More young people are joining training workshops to recognize and mitigate the main risks of school dropout they face gender violence, teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and Covid-19, as well as promote their mental / emotional health and healthy lifestyles.

More than 70 Students from schools in Tulancingo and Cuautepec (Hidalgo state) are training fully online to expand their knowledge of these topics, but also to gain skills in replication activities and to be able to amplify these key prevention messages among their peers.

This 100% virtual learning strategy has required the adaptation and creation of interactive teaching materials, but it is also using tools such as applications and social networks to be closer to the elements that young people use to express themselves and to connect with others.

Although this initiative is focused on young people and on the creation of preventive behaviours among them, in parallel awareness-raising activities are carried out with parents to generate support networks and information about the replica activities that their sons and daughters will eventually develop in the community.

By 2022, with your help, we will expand actions in more schools in the state of Hidalgo to reach a 180 young people directly.
