Oaxaca Streetchildren Grassroots

Oaxaca Streetchildren Grassroots is a binational non-profit organization devoted to improving the lives of marginalized youth of diverse backgrounds in Oaxaca, Mexico, by giving them access to an education. The advisory board in the United States acts as the primary fundraising source for the organization, while the board in Mexico supervises the staffing at the Centro de Esperanza Infantil as well as the many activities offered to the 600 children and young adults who are a part of our program. Thanks to a broad international base of financial donors and volunteers, we provide nutritious meals, medical care, public school registration fees, school supplies, and academic support for our children. Our historic center in Oaxaca serves as a place of extracurricular learning for the children we serve, as well as a site of inter-cultural exchange for the many international students and volunteers who contribute to our grassroots mission.
