Our Mission
. . . is to help families overcome poverty through education. We sponsor low-income, high-achieving students through school, provide vocational training to adults, and supply other essential assistance to the greater Guaymas community so that needs are met and education can be a priority.
Congratulations Graduates and their Sponsors!
Castaway Kids Community Education Center
The Thrift Store is OPEN!
We are hosting English as Second Language courses in our upstairs classroom, and we will soon be offering sewing instruction.
Castaway Kids has historically focused on providing educational opportunities for children from low-income families. In the past few years, supporters have helped more than 100 at-risk children finish school. At the new Community Education Center, we will offer vocational training for adults. Why? Because families benefit when adults earn a livable wage.
HOW WE WORK
Castaway Kids is licensed as non-profit organization in the United States and Mexico. We are a strictly volunteer organization, with no paid permanent staff. All income from our Thrift Store and private donations go directly to people in need, with the exception Thrift Store rent and payments for fees required to maintain legal non-profit status.
MORE THAN 98% OF ALL MONETARY DONATIONS GO TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED.
