For over 15 years, the founder of ACT and partners have been dedicated to supporting and mentoring orphans in Tijuana, Mexico. Each month, we spend an entire day with the children at Casa Hogar Belen orphanage. Our objective for the visits is to build relationships with each child and provide physical, spiritual, and emotional support. However, our experience has amplified the reality that most children who age out of these institutions have dismal chances of success. Without guidance, many fall victim to trafficking and perpetuate the cycles of their parents, battling issues such as drug addiction and teenage pregnancy. Despite these significant challenges, these young people have demonstrated resilience and determination, inspiring us to continue our mission to help them achieve the very best possible outcomes in life. This is why ACT exists.
Over the past 5 years, we have undergone a paradigm shift by collaborating with Christian churches in Tijuana & California, entrepreneurs, and sponsors. We work with like-minded individuals who share our mission of creating support systems for orphans. Our dedication extends not only to younger children but also to youths who are transitioning out of the orphan care system. Our goal is to empower these young people to lead self-sufficient and stable lives by providing necessary resources, biblical mentorship, life skills training, and college & vocational education.
Over the past 5 years we made a paradigm shift by seeking out local churches, entrepreneurs, sponsors and educators both in Tijuana and California, like-minded individuals with the vision and mission of providing transitional support systems to youths aging out of the orphan care system, which would empower them to a life of self-sufficiency and stability. In order to empower these entities to care for these vulnerable youths, ACT seeks to provide needed resources, biblical counseling, mentoring and training in life skills, group saving, vocational and career training.
Goal 1: To ensure that every child has access to education and ultimately, belong to a loving family. By partnering with local churches, we aim to provide compassionate care for orphans in their community.
Goal 2: To assist and prepare the aging-out youth for lifelong independence and stability through: Spiritual Mentoring, Life Skills Training, College & Vocational Education, and Transitional Housing.
