Fundación Camino a Casa

What Fundación Camino a Casa does

Fundación Camino a Casa is a Mexican civil society organization (non-profit foundation) that operates specialized shelters delivering integral, multidisciplinary, and personalized care to child and youth survivors of human trafficking, with particular focus on sexual exploitation, forced labor, and forced begging. The foundation's portfolio comprises four programs: three residential shelters — a girls' shelter in Mexico City (CDMX), a boys' shelter in CDMX, and a high-security girls' shelter in Quintana Roo — plus the 'Medio Camino' transitional housing program that supports socio-labor reintegration of shelter graduates. Care is delivered through a four-pillar model covering medical, mental health, educational, and legal services, with therapeutic approaches grounded in the latest neuroscientific advances for trauma recovery.

The foundation is not a technology company and operates no proprietary software platform; its digital footprint is limited to standard payment integrations (PayPal and MercadoPago) for online donation collection, alongside social media presence on Facebook and Instagram and a blog featuring survivor stories. The organization has documented support to over 230 survivors cumulatively, and its reach extends through prevention campaigns in vulnerable communities, school workshops, and awareness conferences led by survivor-activists.

The revenue model is purely philanthropic: monetary donations collected through PayPal and MercadoPago (100% tax-deductible in Mexico), in-kind donations of supplies (school materials, clothing, food, craft materials), and institutional support from major partners including the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Mexico's Secretaría de Gobernación, the Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente, and corporate donors such as Cinemex and Fundación Dr. Simi. The disclosed unit cost is MX$14,500 per survivor per month (~$870 USD). The foundation operates exclusively within Mexico and has no disclosed subsidiaries, parent entities, or commercial revenue streams.

Regional players
