Sponsor a Sister in Mexico Girlstown

Sisters of Mary Mexico

53.9% of children under the age of 17 in Mexico lack access to education, health, housing, and food. When children live in poverty, it not only impacts their own development, but also increases the likelihood of being passed on to future generations. Families caught in this cycle are not equipped with the tools to plan and control their lives, but instead they must focus on surviving. The Sisters of Mary help break this cycle by committing to children’s physical, educational, social, and spiritual well-being. The Sisters of Mary operate Girlstown, Villa de las Niñas in Chalco, Mexico.

Under the loving care of their Mother Sisters, the girls have the chance to escape poverty permanently and create a brighter future for themselves and their communities. They receive a safe place to live, full-time care, a quality accredited education, technical training, access to medical and dental care, balanced nutrition, and unconditional motherly love from their Mother Sisters, helping them into an independent adult life and a productive future. The children live together, make friends, attend classes, pray and play together. They enjoy sports, music, and art, and share their lives with one another, forming friendship bonds that last them a lifetime. The Sisters of Mary also maintain a daycare center nearby providing the children of the poorest in the community a safe place to play and learn while their parents are at work.
