Mission Mexico Foundation

The Misión México Foundation aims to break cycles of poverty, abuse and inequality; providing opportunities for every child and youth that we care for to succeed. Through long-term solutions like education, practical and emotional care and community development, we provide tools and opportunities for children and youth to advance in every aspect of their lives, becoming the best that they can be.

Over the years, our family home has seen a lot of changes. It began in a small, cramped rented house for seven children with no outdoor play area. With the help of our global supporters, local businesses, and volunteers (including Alan’s own hands!), we were able to; purchase land, build our dream family home, and provide long-term care for up to 30 children and youth at any given time.

We are not an orphanage, our mission is to provide a permanent and stable family home where all our children and youth have green outdoor spaces to safely play and grow. Our family home includes a chapel, a library, a home school and classroom, an onsite office and a pool for swimming lessons. Our Misión México Casa is a safe haven and oasis in the middle of Tapachula.​

Our programs ensure all our children and youth have the opportunities to complete their education, have access to health and wellbeing services, and are supported in their transition towards independence when they are age appropriate and ready.
