Mexico

“ADOPT” AN ORPHANAGE IN MEXICO
Our goal for 2021 is to establish apprenticeships and to secure funds for education, preparing the older children at Niños con Fé for their eventual adult livelihoods. A second goal is to provide for the practical needs of 40 children (we’ve doubled our size in the past year!).
