Us
Us
We exist so that girls, boys, adolescents and young people in situations of social exclusion can choose a life they value, free of violence and in the full exercise of their rights.
We broaden their tools, strengthen their skills and favor their access to opportunities for development, through personalized support that responds to their needs and interests and that allows us to work with their families and their community.
We are a nonprofit, religious, and nonpartisan civil society organization. We are first-rate, that is, we operate our own programs directly in the field. We have existed since 2013 and we were formally established in 2017.
Our history
Our history
Since 2013 we create virtuous futures that are born from the imagination.
In 2013, the increase in insecurity and violence in Malinalco began to worry us. From this, several inhabitants of the town came together to generate a process of reflection and diagnosis, where we identified a problem of inequality and lack of social cohesion in the community. We realized that the most affected population are the young people of San Martín, the most impoverished neighborhood in the municipality. It was thus that among the neighbors who were interested in the problem, we formed the Imaginalco committee, and we decided to focus on prevention work with these young people.
This gave rise to what is now a comprehensive model of violence prevention in the municipality. The search and tireless struggle for the construction of a more just, united Malinalco, in peace and with opportunities for all has forced us to evolve and focus, fundamentally, on promoting the comprehensive development of the girls, boys and young people with whom we work.
