Our food distribution program

After being bedridden for 5 years, Silvia has regained the use of her hands and is able to crochet the beautiful doily you see in the photo. We are helping her sell her doilies to bring her some income

Advancement Program for Underprivileged Mothers
Corazon Unidos, Morelia, Mexico

“Each week we host free classes for about 60 mothers in the area to educate them in implementing new approaches with their families on a variety of topics. At the end of each weekly session we have a food distribution program loading up each mother with a bag load of basic food commodities to take home, donated by local businesses."

"Many of our activities focus on things that these ladies haven't done before. For example, many have rarely been part of a group activity, had an opportunity to express their ideas, or been served coffee and cake; nor have their children. Thus we start each class with 'conversation starters'. They seem to really like this part and it helps them to gain self-respect and an appreciation of the things that happen in their lives. We attempt to implement innovative ways for the mothers to participate, in part to help them gain self-respect."

Corazones Unidos is a Mexican civil association operating in the city of Morelia, Mexico.
