105 years transforming lives

More than a century after making this dream a reality and developing the most advanced educational model for child development, we have benefited close to 1 million girls, boys, and young people.

Mission

At Fundación Dondé we transform the lives of girls, boys and young people in vulnerable areas of Mexico, providing them with psychosocial tools so that they recognize themselves as unique, valuable beings with extraordinary abilities. Our financial solutions not only seek to improve the lives of our clients, but also to generate a sustainable impact that amplifies our educational project and its reach.

Vision

We are a wise and powerful communion of valuable beings, with an origin and a destiny, dedicated to the service of humanity; who feel and express love for serving; and who are committed to freedom, love, education and our development as human beings. We imagine a Mexico where the most vulnerable children are not conditioned by their environment, but inspired to dream big and reach their full potential. We believe that when these girls and boys discover the capacity they have to transform their reality, this country really takes off.
