Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, International, International Relief, Youth Development Programs
Mission: Steps of Love is a U.S.-based nonprofit whose mission is to help youth in Mexico break the cycle of poverty by facilitating access to quality educational opportunities. We partner with Mexican nonprofits whose focus is to support young people whose families lack the resources to send them to school and ensure they succeed.
Results: Unlike in the United States, public school in Mexico is not free. Beginning in high school students have to pay for registration, tuition and fees, books, uniforms and transportation. Students in younger grades must pay for all school supplies, transportation and special activities. In addition to these direct educational expenses, families face a variety of other barriers preventing their children from attending school and succeeding academically. Barriers can include a lack of academic support in the home, as well as the inability to meet basic needs such as food, shelter and access to medical care.
Target demographics: Children get on a path to a better future through education
Geographic areas served: Arizona and Puerto Peñasco
Programs: 1. Providing Adequate Shelter: Meeting the physiological and safety needs of children while also offering a colorful and attractive space that provides stimulation and reinforces their needs for love/belonging and self-esteem. 2. Remedial Education: Guiding children towards self-actualization. Through working on their educational gaps and providing mentoring, children are prepared to achieve their full potential. 3. Home Environment: Enabling the staff at the orphanage so that they are well equipped to make of the orphanage a home for the children. 4. Preventative Health: Overseeing the medical and physiological needs of children so that they live a healthy life.
