Border Community Alliance is bridging the border and fostering community through education, collaboration and cultural exchange. We focus on accomplishing this pursuit in the borderland’s region of Southern Arizona/Sonora, Mexico. We are inspired to share with the public the good news of civil society in the international borderland’s region. Border Community Alliance grew out of relationships with people who wanted to promote binational relationships between non-profit organizations. They sought to encourage a more balanced narrative about Mexico to replace the media’s narrow focus of drugs, violence and immigration. |

Our Foundation is made up of citizens for citizens. We work to promote the improvement of Ciudad Juárez through the sum of philanthropic efforts and resources. We promote social participation and gather and channel resources to support the development of our community, for this, we have developed three programs. An example of these is Young and Philanthropy which aims to promote the philanthropic spirit of juarense youth through their participation in the design, management and implementation of projects to solve problems of the community with the creation and support of youth councils. We seek to generate a change in attitude and behavior that focuses on finding solutions to problems or challenges that afflict our community. We believe that we are all agents of change regardless of our age, gender, socioeconomic or educational status. Through this program, we wish to build the conducive environment that stimulates the qualities that characterize young people so that they have the opportunity to manifest them by choosing to work for the common good, carrying out concrete projects that provide them with leadership skills and of change agents. It also wants to build communities where youth and adults come together to create and sustain positive social change. Youth and Philanthropy was pre-selected among more than 600 practices from 30 Latin American countries, as one of the best practices for young people within the contest “Best Practices in Youth Policies and Programs in Latin America and the Caribbean” organized by the IDB. UNICEF and OAS, among others. The initiative proved to respond to a specific need in the social context; produce tangible results with a positive impact on youth and their communities; involve young people in its design, implementation and evaluation; made in alliances and be sustainable and with the potential to be transferred or replicated.

Nicole Martinez hope@zianet.com |
The mission of Mesilla Valley Community of Hope is to promote dignity and empowerment among the homeless population by providing shelter services, case management, income support and permanent housing programs in Las Cruces and Dona Ana County, New Mexico. Among the many services the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope provides homeless people, Camp Hope is perhaps the most visible. In addressing the problem of homelessness, the MVCH is guided by the “housing first” model—that is, the first and primary need is to provide homeless people with safe, affordable, and stable housing. Other essential services, such as alcohol and drug abuse treatment and mental health services, which the MVCH also provides, should follow. Camp Hope, a self-governing transitional living community that provides temporary, transitional shelter in the form of tents, showers, and cooking facilities, is an important first step toward realizing that goal. |

Border Leaders Academy, Formation for Faith Leaders, Immersion Experiences, Migrant Academy, and Annual Teach-In. Increased arrivals and a cruel strategy of deterrence at the border masked an emerging humanitarian crisis that led to the deaths of several migrant children. HOPE was on the ground in Mexico as the first caravans from Central America arrived to assess needs and provide assistance and also worked to ensure essential Know Your Rights presentations were provided to migrants stranded in Mexico. HOPE triaged the response to the refugee crisis created by ICE’s needless release of migrant families in the streets of El Paso in winter weather and also brought together faith leaders and experts from both countries to strategize long-term responses. HOPE was also on the ground in Guatemala, the only border NGO researching the root causes of migration from Central America. |
