Education and literacy are powerful keys to create a brighter future for the world’s children who in turn benefit the nations they live in. For three decades, Project Amigo has worked with rural children in Mexico to continue their formal schooling up to and including the college level.
In existence since 1984, Project Amigo provides educational scholarships, material support, enrichment activities, and health care to disadvantaged youth in Colima state.
Volunteer Work Weeks based at our headquarters in the beautiful hillside village of Cofradía de Suchitlán allow volunteers from developed countries to engage in humanitarian service and become both friends and sponsors of Mexican youth seeking the many advantages of education.
