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.
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.
Even those who stay enrolled face daily barriers like transportation costs, academic gaps, and little guidance about what comes next.
Without long-term financial support, mentorship, and community, too many students are left to navigate the path to university alone.
