Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Project Amigo is a non-profit corporation with a mission to enable poor children of Colima, Mexico to achieve their highest potential by providing educational opportunities, material support, enrichment activities and medical/dental services not otherwise available to families. Project Amigo coordinates volunteer activities and projects.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Support students from Colima, Mexico so that they can create their own educational opportunities and better their quality of life.

  • Project Amigo provides scholarships to approximately 250 economically disadvantaged students at the junior high, high school, and college levels. The scholarships cover a comprehensive range of educational expenses, including school registration and laboratory fees, transportation, books, school supplies, uniforms, and shoes. For college students, support also includes room and board. In addition, scholarships may cover the costs of school-sponsored field trips and workshops that are not included in standard registration fees.

    Expenses $252,481

  • Incentive-based educational and enrichment programs are offered to children in grades K-6, including two annual educational outings for more than 350 participants. During the holiday season, 365 children receive new clothing and shoes and attend a festive Christmas celebration featuring traditional games, pinatas, and a pozole dinner. Transportation to the event is provided via a combination of commercial and donated buses. In the town of Quesera, 175 children receive supplemental educational services, meals, and programming. Additionally, 6 students are supported in pursuing vocational education.

    Expenses $324,618

  • Project Amigo engages approximately 130 short-term volunteers annually, each participating in 8-day sessions over a 12 to 14-week period, totaling around 1,170 volunteer days. In addition, roughly 8 long-term volunteers contribute approximately 100 days each, adding another 800 volunteer days. Combined, the organization benefits from about 2,000 volunteer service days per year. Program expenses include facility maintenance and utilities for volunteer housing, meals, transportation, and office supplies. Volunteers support literacy by delivering books to underserved rural schools and encouraging reading among children with limited access to educational materials. They also promote preventive dental care by teaching proper brushing techniques and distributing toothbrushes. Additionally, volunteers assist in developing and delivering life-skills programs for scholarship recipients and collaborate with local educators to improve community-based educational initiatives.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
