About the school’s needs

Zone 14 is a place of constant evolution. The area is a symbol of growth and potential. With every challenge comes the opportunity to innovate, improve, and redefine what a modern city can be.

While no city is without crime, Zone 14 invests in security enhancements, private patrols, and community-driven initiatives that foster a strong sense of safety and belonging. The economic divide is a challenge, but it also presents an opportunity for inclusivity and collaboration.

Help give the children of Escuela Oficial Urbana Mixta No. 146 Lic. Eduardo Cáceres Lehnhoff the future they deserve.

Meet the students

Areli

“My name is Areli. I’m eight. I want to graduate from high school and study to be a doctor.

In my free time, I like to paint pictures of animals, my family, and my friends.

I know that in my community, children fight among themselves. There are a lot of hits and insults. This makes it difficult for them to become friends, and there’s a lot of division between people. I wish they could all get along, so there would be less problems and violence.”

—Areli, 8

Eliseo

“I’m Eliseo, and I’m 11 years old. My dream is to graduate and have a good job, to help my mother with expenses.

In my free time, I like to go to the park to walk or play soccer.

In my community, children suffer a lot of violence, both physical and verbal. It feels like we aren’t respected because we’re kids. This causes kids to become violent and repeat this at school or the park. I would like for no one to be mistreated with bad words anymore.

I would like my school to have better bathrooms and a painted area for sports.”

—Eliseo, 11

Meet a teacher

“I am Ana Lourdes, I am 60 years old, and I am a primary school teacher.

One of the challenges we have is to prepare students for a competitive life. In this community, we want to form citizens who are capable of facing things in life and giving their best.

This school is an opportunity to learn and prepare for the future. Here, we support new generations so they can reach their full potential. I hope the children can gain tools for good learning and use them in the future.

As a result of the pandemic, there was a setback in the subjects of mathematics and language; on a general level, children must make an effort to return to these topics.

We have had difficulties maintaining the school’s infrastructure. At the moment, we have difficulties with services related to sanitation. There is a lack of water and electricity. We spent two years without electricity, and the electrical system still has problems.

This center is a place willing to receive all those who wish to study and learn, providing the necessary support so they can develop. We receive them with open arms.”

—Teacher Ana Lourdes
