Prosigue

Prosigue is an organization with a mission to improve the living conditions of boys, girls, and adolescents living on the streets or are at risk of doing so. We have 25 years of experience in working with the street population – children and adolescents – as well as over 15 years in working on prevention addiction, violence, and delinquency. We have helped over 10,000 children throughout this time.  Some have happily moved on to productive lives while others have sadly suffered a different fate. We promote the recovery and social reinsertion process of boys, girls, adolescents, and families living on the street. Likewise, we are committed to the holistic development of children who are at risk of serious social discrimination in extremely poor urban areas of Mexico City.

Recovery Center Prosigue
This program focuses on intervention for people who live in the street and whose lives are seriously affected by suffering and a constant violation of their rights. We are helping them to conduct projects toward self-realization and, therefore, a gradual process of moving away from the streets.

Prevention Center Prosigue
This program is designed to assist children and teenagers who live in families but belong to communities with high rates of violence, abuse, addictions, among other biopsychosocial risks. The goal is to open a space during the daytime to support emotional, physical, and mental health, as well as skills development and promotion of healthy habits.
