FAI Guanajuato was born as a regional organization affiliated with the International Save the Children Alliance, founded in 1919 in London that is the world's largest independent movement for children.
FAI Guanajuato focuses on disseminating, promoting respect and making children's rights a reality, in areas such as survival, development, protection against violence, dignity, equity, and living in a healthy environment. It also focuses on promoting the active participation of girls and boys in making decisions that affect their lives.
International Convention on the Rights of the Child.
It is our guide, based on Mexico's commitment for 60 years to implement them, since they are not yet the lived reality. We promote adults and institutions respect these rights and that children and adolescents exercise them. At the same time we promote the integral development of minors, both their intellectual or rational capacities, as well as their emotional and social ones; and we provide tools so that they can analyze the problems of their environmental, family and social surroundings, look for solutions and improve their relationships with their peers, with adults and with Nature, encouraging them to be conscious and responsible citizens.
Child-Centered Community Development (Sustainable Development)
FAI Guanajuato proposes a system of access to a full and democratic life of dignity, with the objective that children, in contact with the institution's programs, develop skills, tools and values that enable them to build their own knowledge, freely express their ideas and help them to self-analyze, forming people who are responsible for themselves, in a systemic approach and in accordance with the environment, taking into account at all times the needs and feelings of children, and encouraging their participation so that they can play an active part in improving their reality.
