About

Buen Pastor is a convent run by seven sisters in the heartland of Mexico. They are dedicated to saving women and their children from lives of violence. They do this by providing a safe place to live and a comprehensive education to all who pass through their doors.

Buen Pastor runs an "internado" for girls, kind of like a weekly foster-home. Some of the girls stay permanently. Sometimes, the girls come from dire poverty and their parents can't afford to keep them. Other times, families are going through crisis and need a place to hold their children for awhile. Still others come from violence and are placed in the internado by the State. The Madres provide a nourishing environment for the girls. You can feel the love in the home and warmth radiating from the girls when you come to Buen Pastor.

In over a hundred years, Buen Pastor has helped countless women and children find a safe home and receive an education. With between 20-30 girls at any given time, the "internado" creates a home away from home for the girls to heal and learn.

Givology is excited to begin working with Buen Pastor by helping raise money for tuition and uniforms as well as showcasing and selling the girls' artwork created with estudio473.
