Raffle to Raise Money for Children's Center in Mexico

"You change the world when you help educate a child!"

Please support Oaxaca Streetchildren Grassroots by participating in our first annual raffle of handicrafts from Oaxaca! The raffle will run from July 1st through the 31st, and the winners will be notified in early August. Pictured are the prizes which will be awarded to our four winners. All raffle proceeds will go to support the ongoing programs at our community center (the Centro de Esperanza Infantil) for our more than 600 sponsored children. 

Without sponsors, these students would not have the means necessary to attend public school. Our operating expenses are covered by donations to our General Fund and by fundraising. As a small non-profit, we are always in search of new sources of revenue. We invite you to participate in our raffle and, in doing so, to help us raise the necessary funds for our programs. Our mission statement explains the importance of this program to so many families in the Oaxaca area:

"Our sole mission is to provide Oaxacan children living in extreme poverty with an education. At our center we provide nutritious meals, medical care, and all support necessary for more than 600 children to attend public school."

For each $10.00 you send, your name will be entered in our raffle. If you donate $50.00, for example, your name will be entered 5 times. You can purchase your chances via PayPal by going to our website:
