•Eco training, skill building, human development and infrastructure for sustainable development.

Mexico is not a country with a Philanthropic culture. People are acquainted with charity but not with a long term contribution to change poverty and solve environmental problems. We are aware that this is changing and we are working to change it, but still getting enough funds to be able to scale our impact continues to be quite a challenge. We continuously train ourselves to be more efficient in this area, and we work hard on our sustainability enhancing our services. Nevertheless to give an efficient service we need professional human resources and to have them, require income. We are making alliances with Academia in order to get professional support. The organization needs younger professional and dedicated volunteers but, that is becoming very difficult as young people face a highly competitive world and need to dedicate all their efforts to learning and working. Again it is by making alliances and offering services that are compatible with our mission that we intend to overcome the difficulty and attract young professionals to work with the organization and make a decent and rewarding living.

We partner with Universities as the ITESM in Mexico, by giving lectures to their students on environmental and social responsibility issues. Our centers become their areas for hands on learning, we profit from social service students. We partner with a Communication enterprise and they support our activities through communication practices. We partner with different foundations to be able to develop community sustainable development projects in extreme poverty areas as is the case with Gonzalo Río Arronte Foundation, Walmart Foundation, ADO Foundation, Sertull Foundation, Kellog Foundation, Levine Family Foundation, among others.

It is admitted that people give to people they know, so it is only natural that our friends and family support our initiatives. There are individuals that have become acquainted with the organization and give support through a monthly donation, or participate in our fundraisers. Enterprises sponsor our fundraisers. We present projects to different foundations to get funds to use them at the communities and every year we handle three or four different community development projects. We offer workshops to NGOs, we travel to other States in Mexico to train others. We sell handicrafts made out of industrial waste having an ecological, social and economic impact. It helps support the organization, it gives employment to first time delinquents and transforms and industrial non biodegradable waste into useful articles. We sell natural and organic foods from our training centers. We offer didactic guided visits at our centers to general public and schools. We offer workshops at the centers that are attractive and useful to professionals and NGOs. We co founded the “Red para el Desarrollo Rural Sustentable” a Mexican Network of 40 different organizations and the Red looks for funds for the different projects. We offer “Corporate Volunteer Work” to enterprises, Agro tourism and Volunteerism at our centers. Government officials have taken courses with us. The State Government built 8 small training centers following our model.CDI (Indigenous Peoples Commission) hire our training services. We have trained different groups coming from several States in the Country.
