Projects in Mexico

Asistencia de Educacion, Superior, Loreto, Baja Mexico

In 2003, the Nathan Yip Foundation built a dormitory to provide housing for Asistencia high school aged students.  Since many of these students live in rural areas and have no means of transportation to get to school, the Foundation also provides a bus to transport students from their homes to the school and back at the beginning and end of each school week.  The Nathan Yip Foundation continuously works together with Asistencia Educacion Superior en Ligui y Ensenanda Blanca A.C. (AsistED) to provide opportunities and education for the students in these isolated coastal and rural areas.  Together, the Foundation and AsistED help with program funding so that these young people from uneducated, laboring families can realize their human worth and find suitable and sustainable employment.

At Arbol de Vida 65 children live in a safe environment and learn skills to prepare for a better life. The Nathan Yip Foundation supports Arbol de Vida by paying teacher salaries.
