“Most of the people who leave our country do not do it by choice but because of great need. The case of Chiapas is especially difficult since it is the poorest state in Mexico. In Amigos de San Cristóbal we want these Mexicans who migrate, often risking their own lives, to stay in our country. We want them to have the opportunities they have been denied. We want them to live here with their families and loved ones. We want to help them build a future with hope and fulfillment. That is why we do what we do. Every day at Amigos we strive to contribute to the construction of alternatives that allow people to remain in their communities, in dignified and healthy conditions. The solidarity of MEF is an invaluable support without which we could not do our job. Today more than ever, we need your help to continue building together the Mexico of which we dream, the Mexico we all deserve.”
