If you donated a dollar, if you said a prayer, then you were a part of giving these 7 children a 17% greater chance of living, and up to a 93% cognitive increase from going from sleeping on dirt to concrete.

The Tenorio & Galicia families, with children aged 2 to 15 and no active fathers, have never attended school or done any work aside from the fields. Despite language barriers and not having any experience, they put in sweat equity by helping frame, paint, insulate, drywall, and seal their future houses.
Last winter, Baja Missions built a house for Pastor Soccoro and began scholarshipping her son, Mateo. Last week, Pastor Soccoro and Mateo not only volunteered with the house build, Pastor Soccoro helped dedicate the house for God, praying a special blessing to Baja Missions, Comunidad Encuentro, and the Tenorio & Galicia families.
Baja Missions met with BajaEd Director Selene and current scholarship recipient and nursing student Lupita, learning how BajaEd programs impact not just an individual's life trajectory, but the entire community for generations out of the cycle of poverty. Baja Missions has been the top supporter for BajaEd, donating $85k in scholarships for 168 students the past 4 years, graduating a doctor, lawyer, nurses, teachers, bookkeepers, and other professionals.
