In an era of rising division, where the principles of empathy and justice are frequently under siege, your presence in the One Equal Heart family is more vital than ever. Together, we continue the essential work of uplifting Indigenous youth in rural Chiapas, bridging the gap between systemic exclusion and genuine opportunity. 🌟
Guadalupe Guzmán, a 14-year-old girl from the San Ramon community in Chiapas, has been participating in the “Young People Empowering Their Future” project for eight months. Already, she feels a growing sense of empowerment 🙌:
“I enjoy attending the workshops because I didn't have the opportunity to continue my schooling due to a lack of resources. Before this project, my life was very different: I simply stayed at home, helping with household chores. I was unmotivated. I felt very shy about participating in any group. Now, every time I attend a session, I feel like I’m going to school. I learn very important things. I had never heard about contraceptive methods or sexual relations before; these topics are simply not discussed in my community. But now I realize just how important it is for me to know this information for my life! It allows me to protect myself when I am in a relationship and avoid pregnancy or marrying at a young age. It allows me to pursue my education and my dreams.”
🙏Will you donate so that Guadalupe and other Indigenous youth like her can increase access, voice, and agency to build bright futures of their own making?
🫶Your gift will transform the lives of Guadalupe and 69 other Indigenous youth to increase their opportunities to build the life they envision. By investing in empowering youth with tools to take charge of their lives, we spark in them a catalyst for good that can be leveraged to build opportunity, gender equality, and economic growth.
