Who We Are ……
Sol Kids Mexico trust was set up give assistance to vulnerable children and their families in the Shanty Community of Bella Vista, Baja California, Mexico. The community is a large collection of shacks perched high on one of the many hills surrounding the port city of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
Why ……
These kids are often left to their own devices after school finishes at lunchtime whilst parents are still trying to scratch out a meagre living. Drug and Alcohol abuse is rife and so the afternoon is a particularly vulnerable time for children to be without supervision.
What ……
After school day care providing a warm midday meal (for some the only one of the day) followed by sports and art and craft activities, help with homework and a late afternoon snack before going home. Also help for some of the poorest families with secondary school uniform and bus fares to school – an real obstacle to education for many families as the add on costs of free state education that most of us take for granted but which for these families makes education not free at all.
