X
32 percent
of the
Mexican population
is young people
1 out of 4 youth do not study or work
(called NEET)
they are
more than 7 million
In Mexico, poverty, unemployment
and lack of educational opportunities
are the main causes of violence
Youth who don't study or work spend long
hours outside of the home.
What do they do?
Discouraged young men and women are
looking for their place in society.
Their NEET condition is a risk;
as a result, they become an easy prey
to violence, addiction,
and organized crime.
This makes them a threat to society,
some even say they are a
time bomb for the country's security.
Today we can do something
to change his story.
Since 2009, Operation Blessing has
graduated 263 youth from 3 workshops:
Electricity
English
and cosmetology.
>>Hello, I'm Michelle
and I am very grateful
to Operation Blessing
for giving us the Electricity workshop.
It is very complete and interesting.
They teach us different skills
to be competent in the labor market.
It is truly useful, because first,
they teach us how to install a lamp
and at the end we are able to
install electric in a home.
Let's give them this opportunity
>>Thank you Operation Blessing.
