The Work of Misión de Caridad (Proverbs 11:23-28)

Misión de Caridad was formed to break the cycle of poverty for displaced women and children on the Mexico side of the United States border by educating and empowering families to build healthy lives of purpose within self-reliant communities. 

When families come to the border, they often settle on land in an area near Misión de Caridad’s facility. The streets are dirt. Families construct houses out of whatever materials they can find. Few have running water in the home and some are even without electricity. But all are experiencing the effects of multi-faceted, multi-generational poverty.

The programs at Misión de Caridad are designed to empower and help families see their inherent dignity. When a student is accepted at our school, the entire family is enrolled in programs that afford them the opportunity to participate in a number of empowerment initiatives.
