Charity Builds Schools, Kitchens & Bathrooms
Por Los Niños de Zihuatanejo, AC is a Mexican non-profit, public-benefit corporation established for the administration and distribution of the funds raised by Zihuatanejo’s annual Sailfest activities.
Each year, boaters from around the world sail into Zihuatanejo to provide rides and to enjoy activities that raise funds for education. These funds are then used by Por Los Niños to provide enhanced educational opportunities for the economically-disadvantaged children of Zihuatanejo.
Since 2002, the volunteers of Por Los Niños educational charity have donated, raised funds, and built more than ninety classrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and playgrounds for disadvantaged children in the Zihuatanejo area. Nearly five thousand young students have benefited from their efforts. The charity’s vision is to provide an educational opportunity for each and every child in Zihuatanejo, regardless of income level or social status.

The community is grateful to all the efforts of so many people to help the young scholars of Zihuatanejo.
That should put a smile on everyone’s face!
