What We Do
The mission of
Loving the Children of Mexico is to provide holistic charitable assistance to
address the physical, spiritual and academic needs of economically
disadvantaged children living in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. We seek to fulfill our
mission by providing:
- Food, clothing, educational materials and supplies, and financial assistance to needy Mexican children and their families.
- Funding grants to Mexican organizations whose mission and programs align with LCM’s charitable purpose.
Our
goal is to provide assistance for the 45 children participating in Casa Alegria
located in Nuevo Laredo. In partnership with Casa Alegria, we seek to:
- Provide a safe after-school environment where the children can play and learn
- Serve a nutritious, warm meal prepared on site
- Offer daily Bible education classes for strengthening their spiritual foundation
- Safely transport the children from their neighborhood to Casa Alegria
- Provide homework assistance to ensure success in the classroom
More About Our Story
Children deserve the opportunity to live happy, healthy lives in a safe, loving environment. Yet, not all children are this fortunate.
Children deserve the opportunity to live happy, healthy lives in a safe, loving environment. Yet, not all children are this fortunate.
This
is the case for many of the children from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, where the
poverty rate is at 44 percent. Nuevo Laredo also has one of the lowest education
attainment rates amongst cities on the US-Mexico border. With the recent
increase in crime and drug related violence in Nuevo Laredo, the economic
conditions continue to deteriorate. Many of these children live in extreme
poverty conditions.
Loving the
Children of Mexico is partnering with Casa Alegria to achieve its mission. Casa
Alegria has over 22 years of experience serving children from the most
impoverished colonias in Nuevo Laredo. The Casa Alegria children excel
academically, are ranked first in their classroom, and go on to complete their schooling.
In fact, many of the first children participating at Casa Alegria have
graduated from college and work in their professions. They have returned to
help provide a similar path of hope for the younger ones.
