Tijuana, Mexico hosts the largest refugee camp in North America home to 1,700-2,000 refugees from all over the world. Most are fleeing human trafficking, war, extreme poverty, or cartel violence. The dangers they faced were so severe that many had no choice but to leave their countries in search of safety.
Many of the children and families at the camp have had little to no access to education in their home countries. Recognizing this need, we launched the Love Does School in Tijuana, Mexico, just six months ago. We opened the first formal school at the camp, serving 200 children—primary students in the morning and secondary students in the afternoon. Many of these students will cross the border and enter US schools and this is their first chance at an education. We would love to give these students a robust library with your help.
Leave a gift message and we will include it with each book that you purchase.
As the children and families wait for the next steps in their asylum process, often spending 7-8 months in the camp, they now have access to much-needed education.
Our mission is to help these children move beyond their trauma, build a foundation of peace and love, and instill confidence in themselves. With the right support, we believe they can create a bright future. We are excited about the transformative impact this school will have on these families, both now and in the years to come. For many students, this will be their first exposure to formal education, offering them a crucial foundation for shaping their future.
