Nakú's Mission

As a Mexican civil association, Fundación Origen Nakú is dedicated to the comprehensive development of indigenous communities in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, specifically in the localities of Xaltipan, Tonalix, and Ziltepec, belonging to the municipality of Cuetzalan, Puebla. Our primary focus concerns indigenous childhood and adolescence. Currently, 286 children participate in Nakú's programs. 

Every month, the Fundación Origen Nakú team undertakes a service trip to the communities of Xaltipan, Tonalix y Ziltepec. Through workshops, experiential activities, and creating spaces of coexistence, participating children and youth develop socioemotional abilities, strengthen their cultural identity, acquire habits relating to self-care, and actively participate in the life of their community. 

The Foundation also engages with the communities through special events, such as: 

• A week long trip during the summer

• An annual dessert social in Puebla City (for pays for several children to come and see the city for the first time)

• And a Christmas play perfomed in Puebla's Sierra Norte by Nakú 

It is through each the help of every individual who decides to involve themselves - however directly or indirectly - that we are able to have a longlasting impact on the indigenous children and adolescents we work with, helping them to sow opportunities which result in them being the protagonists of their own future.
