The Americas

Mexico

Mexico is the largest supplier of marijuana and methamphetamine to the U.S. and is the primary shipping route for 90% of the cocaine trafficked into the States.  The abundance and proliferation of drugs in Mexico has created an environment of survival of the fittest for thousands of children.

Violent crime is an everyday occurrence in cities throughout the country as rival drug cartels and dealers fight over territory and customers. Mexico’s murder rate is almost three times higher than in the U.S.

Children are especially vulnerable of being orphaned by violence, neglect, or abandonment. Poverty and violence have left nearly two million children orphaned.

God’s Kids in Mexico…

God’s Kids is working in three different areas of the country to give hope to orphans:
•    In Tijuana, God’s Kids has partnered with Casa Hogar Belen, a family-run orphanage in the heart of the city.
•    In rural Creel, we have been supporting the Aljabar Orphanage for years in their work to show Christ’s love to Native American orphans.
•    And in Mazatlan, God’s Kids supports four feeding centers that feed and minister to close to 240 kids every day. A fifth center is in the making!
