Help Save Children in Mexico

Facts about child poverty in Mexico and how Children Incorporated is helping

Today, Mexico is the world’s tenth most populous nation — and largest Spanish-speaking country by population — with a growing, diversified economy and a relatively stable democratic government. However, despite the country’s wealth of culture, history, natural resources and beauty, many natives and immigrants are plagued by impoverished living conditions.

Food Insecurity is Preventable — With Our Help

A Letter from our CEO and President, Ron Carter

 Dear Friends, I grew up in a pretty average family. My parents were down-to-earth, hard-working people who sometimes struggled to make ends meet. There was seldom extra money, yet there were always unexpected medical costs, auto repairs, and other expenses that seemed to pop up.
