Mission Statement
In order to develop the academic, psychological, and vocational skills of abandoned children living in orphanages, and measure their results with valid academic, psychological, and behavioral metrics, Create Purpose is embarking on a long term mission to scale our Programs to orphanages around the world with a plan to implement after school programs 5 days/week to 5 orphanages in 2021 and 10 orphanages in 2022, serving 500 children in the Baja California region.
Description
Abandoned children struggle behaviorally and psychologically and lag behind normative academic benchmarks. As these children transition into adulthood, their paths often result in the continuation of the cycle of poverty. For the approximately 30,000 living in orphanages or shelters in Mexico, the struggle takes a new shape. That’s why Create Purpose exists. Our Solution: Bridge the educational gaps that exist for abandoned children and focus on teaching life skills in a way that leads children out of poverty so they can pursue their purpose. How? Provide the proven methodology of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) through Project Based Learning within Tijuana orphanages. This transformative solution could not be otherwise provided by orphanage staff.
