Amigos de las Mujeres de Juarez is no longer doing direct fundraising. Instead we are trying to establish a direct link from donors to the organizations. The Mexican organizations that we support continue to do incredible work with very limited resources. We have personal contact with these organizations on a regular basis and can deliver your donation to them personally, since Mexican mail is sometimes not reliable. In addition, our web site will list the most pressing current needs of each organization. More information can be obtained by emailing amigos@amigosdemujeres.org .
You may want to have a fundraiser to support groups in Juarez and Chihuahua that are struggling for justice for women. The greatest need of the groups we support is funding. Members from Amigos are willing to help with fundraisers in any way we can. Members are available to help and speak at events. If you have any ideas for fundraising, please contact us at: amigosdemujeres@yahoo.com.
