Project in Mexico

Educational Infrastructure for Indigenous and Rural Communities

We support the construction and improvement of safe, well-equipped learning spaces by bringing together communities, local government partners, and other allies.

What Is the Project?

We work alongside communities, local government partners, and other allies to identify and address priority educational infrastructure needs in Indigenous and rural communities.

Through a collaborative model, we support the construction, rehabilitation, and equipping of spaces where children and young people can learn in safer, better-equipped environments. Each intervention responds to the specific needs identified by the community and may include classrooms, restrooms, computer spaces, or other essential infrastructure that strengthens the educational environment.

Our goal is to continue bringing additional schools and communities into the program while building partnerships that allow its reach to grow over time.

Investing in education in Indigenous and rural communities is essential to expanding opportunity and reducing inequality.
