The education system in Mexico is in crisis, and so many children are behind academically, lacking even basic literacy skills. Many parents and grandparents have attested to what a blessing the Refugio de Amor education center has been for their children/grandchildren, many of whom would be at home unsupervised while guardians are at work. Kids who had been passed on year after year, are now learning to read and receiving the individualized attention they need in smaller, more intimate classroom settings. When one visits our campuses, they encounter a vibrant, joy-filled atmosphere where kids feel welcome and safe.
