What Vifac México( CDMX y Edo Mex) does

VIFAC México, legally Vida y Familia México I.A.P., is a private nonprofit organization (Institución de Asistencia Privada) founded in January 1985 by Marilúa Mariscal de Vilchis. It operates two physical shelter facilities — Casa Azul (Circuito Ingenieros 32) and Casa VIFAC (Circuito Educadores 63), both in Ciudad Satélite, Naucalpan, Estado de México — and serves pregnant women in vulnerable situations across Mexico City and Estado de México. The organization is the first shelter of its kind in Mexico and was instrumental in the 1985 reform of the State of Mexico Civil Code to create the 'adopción plena' (full adoption) figure.

The core service offering is an integrated care model that bundles temporary housing (with private bedrooms, meals, clothing, and hygiene support), certified vocational workshops (food service, styling, cutting and sewing), values workshops, motivational talks, and pregnancy-through-postpartum support — all provided free of charge. Children accompanying mothers receive care including a ludoteca (playroom), clothing, and nutrition. The model is aligned with 8 UN Sustainable Development Goals and was developed for adolescents, single mothers, women escaping violence, and pregnant women facing economic or family abandonment. Awareness and intake are driven through the 'Charlas VIFAC' school-presentation program, WhatsApp, a web form with a stated 24-hour response SLA, and institutional referrals.

VIFAC operates as a donation-funded nonprofit with no disclosed revenue or operating budget. Income sources include individual economic donations (tax-deductible, processed via Providencia.org.mx and bank transfer to Scotiabank), in-kind donations (food, hygiene, clothing, baby items), corporate CSR programs, and volunteer services. The organization is accredited by CEMEFI (Centro Mexicano para la Filantropía) for Institutionality and Transparency — one of 632 such accredited Mexican organizations — and received a 2025 corporate donation from pharmaceutical company Apotex to support maternal health services. Headcount is 21 employees, and 2024 beneficiary volume was reported at 400+ across the CDMX / EdoMex catchment.
