Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Tia Project Sites

Tia has covered so much of Central Mexico that all the project site location names cannot fit on one map!  Everywhere you see a yellow pushpin, Tia’s Promotores are helping their neighbors out, providing free care and educating them on health topics to keep their families well.

Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way!”
― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!

Here’s a closer look at our locations in West Central Mexico:

Tia now has 553 Promotores serving 172,000 people in Mexico. This Promotora just graduated in San Pedro Itzican, Jalisco with her son watching.  He attended many classes with her.   His mother learned how to deliver babies, make a water filtration system using household items, give an intramuscular injection, do CPR and how to spot and manage diabetes.  Her skills will be especially useful here because they live a great distance from the nearest doctor and because the water quality is abysmal.  Her selfless dedication to learning and serving others means her adorable little boy will enjoy a higher quality of life.

Happy Mother’s Day Mexico!

Mother’s Day in Mexico is today, May 10th!  Tia would like to wish everyone a Happy Mother’s Day.  Many of our Promotoras are mothers, and all our 519 Promotores work tirelessly to make sure that moms are healthy and have a safe place to bring their babies into the world.  We also celebrate the beautiful, smart and strong women of Mexico, the aunts, grandmothers and other female role models that are the glue that hold our families and communities together.  Take this opportunity to thank the great women in your life!
