HELP US BRING FUNDS AND AWARENESS TO THE BEAUTIFUL KIDS OF MEXICO
YOUR DONATION WILL BE PROVIDING:
- Orphans with food, a home to stay, & loving caretakers
- Teachers a salary to educate kids and give them a brighter future
- Professional psychologist care for kids to ensure health
Our goal is to give orphans and underprivileged kids in Mexico the love and care they need to grow and be leaders of change. A child can not dream or reach their full potential if their basic needs of love and nourishment are not met. This is why we are here.
There are currently over 700 orphanages in Mexico, with an estimated 400,000 children living without parents. However, Mexico does not record a national census of orphaned children, meaning many children are neglected and forgotten while orphanages struggle to accommodate and properly care for their needs. Our mission has been to research and pinpoint those orphanages and charities that are already creating positive change for the youth of Mexico, and to encourage the work each mission does.
Los Angeles artist, Kim Rose, has recruited artists from around the world to come together under the same cause: to use fine art as a vehicle to bring funds and awareness to children in Mexico. The heart for this project stems from the legacy Kim’s mother, Marisol, left imprinted on her daughter. Marisol was born in Monterrey, Mexico, and despite living in poverty most of her childhood, she always praised the programs established around her that allowed her to explore her creativity. These simple organizations and after school programs built her the foundation she needed to grow into the incredible woman and example she was.
Today, there are many organizations dedicated to helping children just like Marisol, but they are short of the necessary funds to expand their impact. 100% of the proceeds raised at Mexico Mission – Mission Marisol will be directly donated to the incredible non-profit organization, International Community Foundation, who will aide in allocating the funds to seven hand-picked charities in Mexico working hard to create a brighter future for the younger generation.

ASF is a scholarship and academic support program for students living in the vicinity of the Centro de Comunidad, A.C. community center in Tijuana.

Ve`e Sa`a Kuaa and Guelaguetza Elementary Schools Library Programs
In order to expand their perspective of the world, offer a safe, independent space, and encourage them to have dreams and set goals, Pro- Salud operates a full-time library, reading program and summer camp within these two elementary schools for over 1,600 girls and boys ages 6 to 12 years in Colonia Valle Verde, Tijuana. The majority of these students are of Mixtec origin, from poor working families, whose parents are usually illiterate and in many cases do not speak Spanish. Without the support of their parents and the trained staff at these schools, these girls and boys would not have any interest in reading, and would surely immerse themselves in a world with little academic or other life ambitions.
