The project

Our first chapter starts in Mexico where we began an investigation through different vulnerability zones in Mexico City, Toluca and Chihuahua to detect the needs of the communities, their people and their situation. On our journey we found families living in extreme poverty, children not having access to a formal education, and people with extreme limitations of water access or even a proper home to sleep in. This inspired us to step by step build a sustainable future for the Next Generation, together we can make dreams come true.
