As part of Experience Mex-ECO Tours’ work within the community, our staff are part of a charity for children in the area, ‘Ayuda a los Niños Costalegre A.C.’, whose objective is to support, both financially and physically, the educational, medical & health needs of underprivileged children in the Costalegre area. By working alongside local authorities & community members, we aim to direct this support to where it is most needed within the community and maintain cultural sensitivity throughout all of our activities.

Raising money for ‘Ayuda a los Niños Costalegre A.C.’ relies on the support of local businesses, residents and visiting tourists donating their time and money towards this good cause.

So far ‘Ayuda a los Niños Costalegre A.C.’ has helped:

• Raise sponsorships and money for classroom materials and physiotherapy equipment for C.A.M Cihuatlán (Only school for special education in the municipality of Cihuatlán).
  
  
• Build a school and day care centre for the children of indigenous migrant farm workers in Jaluco.
  
  
• Build a new classroom at Pinal Villa Community School.
  
  
• Purchase walking frames which have aided various children to learn to walk with the support of a physiotherapist from C.A.M. Cihuatlán.
  
  
• Contribute towards medical and transport costs of several local children with serious and ongoing illnesses.
  
  
• Provided seasonal medical care to the children of indigenous migrant farm workers living in impoverished conditions in the area (including checkups, medications, surgery and follow-ups).
