Nearly half of all students in Mexico are forced to abandon their education after grade 6
Families can’t afford the basic costs of schooling. This is more than an education crisis—it’s a cycle that limits opportunity and holds entire communities back.
ASF envisions a world, where Tijuana’s youth are emboldened to dream about their futures and have the resources and agency they need to pursue those dreams through education.
Crossroads
The jump from elementary school to middle school is a breaking point—when financial strain and limited support push many students out of the classroom.
Barriers
Even those who stay enrolled face daily barriers like transportation costs, academic gaps, and little guidance about what comes next.
Isolation
Without long-term financial support, mentorship, and community, too many students are left to navigate the path to university totally alone.
Transformation Through Education!
Empowering Students
ASF levels the playing field by providing youth in one of Tijuana’s most unsafe and impoverished regions with the finances, academic support, and culturally responsive resources they need to access high quality education and thrive.
Building Leaders
Our diverse, binational team of educators, mental health advocates, community leaders, and alumni work to ensure that, upon graduation, students are equipped with the skills, experience and confidence to successfully enter the job market and engage in their communities.
Invest in the Future, Today
You have the power to turn aspirations into achievements. Your donation gives students the tools, education, and encouragement they need to break barriers and reach their full potential.
