JUDEM

Project Overview

The project is an educational initiative in Mexicali aimed at motivating boys and girls in primary school, aged 6 to 11, to continue their education and progress to secondary school. It provides a supportive learning space that encourages continued schooling through fun, interactive activities designed to promote active, creative, and critical thinking. The initiative seeks to strengthen educational aspirations among children while fostering long-term engagement with learning and academic development in underserved communities.

Project Impact

Although the project began with modest expectations, strong teamwork made it possible to expand beyond the initial goal of reaching 30 children. The initiative was eventually implemented across all grades of the primary school, positively impacting more students. Through diagnostic activities and direct engagement, the team observed meaningful changes and strong enthusiasm from the children throughout the project.
