The Americas

From the mountains inhabited by Tarahumaras in Chihuahua, Mexico, to the valleys in Cochabamba, Bolivia. We work in collaboration with local organizations who serve the most vulnerable children and youth.

Despite living in multidimensional poverty and challenging conditions, children and youth from the Americas have the resilience, creativity and potential to escape from the poverty trap. Our Partners' work has shown that children and youth can adapt to different circumstances and use their skills to break the vicious cycle of poverty.
