Sarahuaro Foundation Mission

The mission of Fundación Sarahuaro is to temporarily support women through educational activities, in order to develop skills that enable them to improve themselves, their families, and their community.

We achieve this mission primarily by offering classes and workshops at our community centers. These courses are typically 3 months long, and cover a range of topics including basic life skills, language and literacy, and job training.

Sarahuaro Foundation Story

Sarahuaro was founded in 2005 by two friends from Los Cabos who had a vision of bringing better education to women living in the colonias. What began as simple classes in life skills and artisanal work grew into a popular program for women impacted by poverty. After obtaining the Mexican nonprofit status of “Civil Association” (AC), Sarahuaro was able to increase its reach to more communities.

Sarahuaro signifies friendship and community. The “saguaro” cactus is a typical feature of the Baja landscape, where the desert meets the sea. A cactus is able to support life and prosper in the midst of a challenging environment, much like the women who make up the Sarahuaro programs.

Today, Sarahuaro offers a variety of educational opportunities for women in San Jose and San Lucas. The addition of the La Cocina program in 2012 addresses the health and food security issues faced by the majority of Sarahuaro women and their children.
