\n How did Coraz\u00f3n Ra\u00edz begin?\n <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n [vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]Coraz\u00f3n Ra\u00edz was founded in 2022\u00a0 with a simple conviction: education is one of the most powerful tools for creating lasting change. We work alongside indigenous and rural communities in Mexico to expand educational opportunities and strengthen locally led development.<\/p>\n

Before founding Coraz\u00f3n Ra\u00edz, our co-founder and Executive Director, Fernanda de la Cerda, volunteered with organizations in Mexico and abroad. Those experiences revealed both the enormous challenges many communities continue to face and the extraordinary dedication of the people working to address them.<\/p>\n

Inspired by those experiences, she founded Coraz\u00f3n Ra\u00edz with the belief that meaningful change begins with local leadership. By connecting committed people, communities, and partners across borders, we strive to expand educational opportunities where they are needed most.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row_content” css_animation=”slideInRight”][vc_row el_class=”bg-quienes”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”53px”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”container mx-auto”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/5″]\n
