For the past ten years, we have offered education to the children of Mixtec artisans who live in the "El Chiflon" ravine in Chulavista. Don Bosco's agreement with "El Centro Educativo La Buena Tierra" allows children from the former train tracks in Cuernavaca to continue their studies at the middle and high school levels.

In the past five years, our Educaton program has allowed 821 students over 18 to obtain their Baccalaureate Certificate by Agreement 286 of the SEP. To date, Don Bosco has two economically productive projects: a bazaar and a water purification plant. These projects directly benefit the foundation and the nearby community.

Popotlan Rural Campus In 2015, the Popotlan High School opened its doors in Temoac, Morelos.

In this school year (24-25), 44 students are pursuing their high school degree through the B@UNAM agreement.

Our mission at Light of Nation Youth Projects (LNYP) is to create a thriving, inclusive, and empowered youth community by providing access to skills development, economic opportunities, health education, and social support. We are deeply committed to ensuring that young people, especially those from marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds, have the resources and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty and achieve economic independence. Empowering Youth Through Skills Development We recognize that one of the biggest barriers young people face is the lack of marketable skills that enable them to secure employment or start their own businesses. Through our various training programs, we equip youth with practical, income-generating skills that prepare them for sustainable careers. Whether through vocational training, digital literacy, or entrepreneurship development, we ensure that each young person who engages with our programs leaves with valuable skills that can be applied in real-world scenarios. Our commitment extends to young people with disabilities, who often face additional barriers in accessing education and employment. Through initiatives like the Creativity Beyond Disability Project, we provide tailored skills training, mentorship, and business support, ensuring that no one is left behind. Driving Economic Growth Through Job Creation and Entrepreneurship We believe that empowering young people goes beyond training-it involves creating real opportunities for economic participation. Many of our programs focus on helping youth transition from skills acquisition to practical application, whether through job placements, business incubation, or market access support. We offer mentorship and guidance to young entrepreneurs, helping them develop sustainable business models, access funding opportunities, and navigate the challenges of running their own enterprises. By fostering a culture of entrepreneurship, we enable youth to create their own paths to financial independence rather than waiting for job opportunities that may never come. Additionally, our income-generating initiatives, such as merchandising and arts and crafts production, provide participants with hands-on experience in business operations. We aim to support young entrepreneurs in establishing their brands, connecting with customers, and scaling their businesses to generate sustainable income. Promoting Health Awareness and Gender Equality At LNYP, we understand that economic empowerment is closely linked to overall well-being. This is why we integrate health promotion and gender equality advocacy into our programs. Through our HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives, we educate youth on safe practices, access to healthcare services, and the importance of regular testing and treatment adherence. We also recognize the intersection between economic vulnerability and gender-based violence (GBV). Women and girls, especially those with disabilities, are often at higher risk of exploitation and abuse due to their financial dependence on caregivers or partners. Our programs aim to reduce these risks by empowering young women with economic independence, allowing them to make informed choices about their futures and reduce their vulnerability to abuse. By addressing these critical social issues, we are not only equipping youth with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed but also fostering a safer and more supportive environment in which they can thrive. Building a Stronger, More Inclusive Community We believe that sustainable change comes from within the community. This is why our programs are designed to be community-driven, with active participation from local leaders, businesses, and stakeholders. We work closely with community-based organizations, government agencies, and private sector partners to ensure that our initiatives are aligned with broader development goals and have a lasting impact. Our commitment to inclusion means that we actively create spaces where all young people, regardless of their backgrounds or abilities, feel valued and supported. We advocate for accessibility, equal opportunities, and policies that promote social and economic inclusion for all. Our Long-Term Vision Our goal is to create a future where every young person has the skills, confidence, and support to succeed. Over the next five years, we aim to: -Train over 2,500 youth in practical, income-generating skills. -Increase employment rates among youth with disabilities by 40%. -Support the sale of 1,500+ handmade products annually to help young entrepreneurs generate income. -Reduce gender-based violence vulnerability by empowering young women with financial independence. -Establish sustainable community hubs where youth can access continuous training, mentorship, and business support. Through these efforts, we are not just providing temporary solutions-we are laying the foundation for a future where young people are the driving force behind their own success and the development of their communities. At Light of Nation Youth Projects, we believe that empowering youth is the key to transforming communities. Together, we can build a future where every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
