Mayama, A.C.

Mayama, A.C. is a civil society organization based in Jalisco, Mexico founded in 2008 by a group of individuals concerned about the situation of abandonment, orphanhood and marginalization of Mexican children. Ever since, Mayama, A.C. has focused its work to help ensure that children and their families suffering from violence, poverty, abuse and exclusion, develop skills to overcome the difficulties of their social context and improve their quality of life. Through the search of developing individual capacities, children and their families become agents of transformative social, economic and cultural change. Mayama, A.C. works with a systemic education model that operates for five and a half years with every child and their families. These years are used for skill-developing, prevention and education for peace, which aims that children do not suffer from marginalization, early pregnancy, educational underachievement, organized crime or orphanages. We aim for our children to be registered, enrolled in school and empowered, allowing them to achieve their own personal and professional goals. Mayama, A.C. is an accredited non-governmental organization with the Economic and Social Council, and other national collations working in favor for children’s human rights.
