Project description
Following the inspection of the existing facility by CEO Hubert Freidl and examination of the necessity and need for action regarding the extension or continuation of the project, the support of the project has been justified. So far, approximately 500 children have attended the school. According to the legal regulations in Mexico, the mother must take care of her childern even if she has become delinquent and has to serve a sentence.

This facility offers clean and decent accomodation, as well as providing good care for the children. In addition, the children will also have access to good education. 

The goal is to maintain the existing facility for the approximately 20 girls and 20 boys. Included in the costs are food, medical treatment, psychological treatment, education, personnel costs, administration as well as the maintenance of the building.
