Behind every one of the 18,182 healthy meals served by our partner Centro de Esperanza Infantil in 2025, there is more than food. There is constant work, planning, community, and donors committed to Oaxaca.

But there is also our work. The work of Oaxaca Youth Empowerment. The work of channeling resources, building partnerships, and never letting go of the children.

This year we want more. Because hunger doesn't stop, and neither do we.

🌱 Roots of Love: Planting Community, Harvesting Empowerment

A new OYE initiative is teaching children and their families learn to plant, grow, and cook their own food. We want every household to have access to fresh vegetables, nutrition education, and the joy of growing together.

This project strengthens food security, promotes healthy habits, and builds community bonds from the ground up.

Because empowering a family starts with giving them the tools to cultivate their own future.

This Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their lives in service to their country.

At OYE, we believe that building a better world starts with honoring the past and working toward a future where more children have the chance to grow up in peace, with dignity and opportunity.

From our OYE family to yours, we hope you have a meaningful and restful holiday.

Today we remember Jodi Bauman, our founder.

She wasn't looking for recognition. She was looking for justice for the children of Oaxaca. She saw a boy in the Zócalo and did not look away. That moment changed everything.

Thanks to Jodi, hundreds of young people today have access to education, food, and hope. Her legacy lives on in every smile, every classroom, every future we continue to build.

We have been at this for 25 years. And we are just getting started. Together, we keep going.

Mother's Day is special to us at OYE.

Because we know that behind every child or young person who finishes school, there is a mother who made it possible with her daily effort — often without rest, almost always with more love than resources.

Thank you to all the mothers who trust in our work and in the work of our partner Centro de Esperanza Infantil. You are the first engine of change.
