Our Compass

THE NEED

Mexico ranks 29th highest out of 170 countries by percentage of populations living below the poverty line at 46%, a great many of which are children. There is an urgent need in Mazatlán, Mexico to help children become independent, responsible, accountable and employable as they transition to adulthood.

MISSION

"To provide a brighter future through loving care, spirituality and quality education for underprivileged adolescents, so that they reach their full potential"

VALUES

Our 5 values - honesty, empathy, achievement, respect, thoughtfulness.jpg

Honesty – be true to yourself and others.
Empathy – care for your fellow human being.
Achievement – do everything to the best of your abilities to achieve your goals.
Respect – respect yourself, those around you and property.

WHAT WE DO

“GIVE A KID AN EDUCATION”

We provide the opportunity for disadvantaged adolescents to obtain lifelong skills that will make them successful members of society. By doing this, we hope to play a small role in breaking the cycle that perpetuates poverty.

OUR TARGET

We target boys and girls who typically come from Mazatlán families who cannot afford to support them. Some do not have parents and are being cared for by family members with limited resources. The adolescents have completed high school and are “graduates” from other existing children’s homes who wish to further their personal growth and education.

OUR GOAL
  1. Provide students with the opportunity to obtain lifelong skills that will make them independent and self-sufficient.

  2. Educate them to be good people by living and modeling our values and being responsible.

  3. Teach them to value what they have and give back to those less fortunate than themselves.

OUR APPROACH
  • Execute contracts - agreement to adhere to the rules and values of the home and to successfully complete their education.

  • Part time work - youngsters help contribute to costs and have “skin in the game.”

  • Personal development plans - a few career options for each student.

  • Teach independence and responsibility.
