Luis is 15 years old and was born in Puebla, Mexico. He was abused by his family on a regular basis until one day he decided to leave home to live on the streets instead. Soon, he started using drugs to forget about his problems. When he was 11, an outreach worker from Casa Alianza convinced him to visit one of the shelters where he finally found the support he needed to overcome his drug problem and to think about a better life for him, free of poverty and violence.

Casa Alianza Mexico (Compass Children's Charity in the UK) provides care and protection to former street children, aged 12-18 years, who have experienced extraordinary trauma in the form of abuse, neglect, violence, abandonment, addiction to harmful substances, sexual exploitation and human trafficking. 

30% of children at Casa Alianza Mexico are victims of sexual abuse.  They can suffer from PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and low self-esteem. They lack trust and hope.  

Your donations will be used to help fund the first year of the programme delivery.

The Red Global Mx UK is raising funds to help more children like Luis to receive mental health support to overcome their trauma and turn their lives around. 

£10 can pay for a month of public transport fees 

£12.50 can pay for a counselling session for a child.

£40 can pay a pair of shoes or trainers.

£104 can provide food for a month for a child.
