Pasitos de Luz 4.61

Pasitos de Luz is a non-profit organization that provides care for disabled children from low-income families in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was founded more than fourteen years ago by a determined group of mothers who were desperate to have a place where their disabled children could receive decent levels care and attention.

Pasitos is a lifeline for the more than 122 families who rely on us to look after their children during the day. These children often suffer from acute physical and psychological illnesses and many are unable to enter the mainstream education system. Furthermore, by providing a safe place for these children during the day, both parents are able to go out to work. This extra income is essential for many families who live on the breadline.

We offer a huge range of essential services, including physical rehabilitation, psychological care, nutrition and much more.

100% Free-of-Charge
Pasitos de Luz does not charge a single peso for its services. All the children are fed and looked after at no cost to the parents. Instead, all our funds come from the generous support of our local and overseas benefactors. It is truly a miracle that our charity has existed for so long, and we are determined to keep working for its long-term future.

You too can make a difference! Learn more about donating to Pasitos or volunteering .
