Rosarito Project

Project Description

Since 2013, our community center located in Rosarito city, in Mexico, supports children and families in need. We provide support throughout the year.

What do we do?

We support over 140 children through donations of food, toys, school supplies, school uniforms, shoes, clothes, blankets, and through activities such as guitar and English classes.

How do we help?

Eyes Of A Child provides financial support that comes from donations of good and/or funds throughout the year to help maintain the program.

Who’s responsible?

Soledad Villamil, Rosarito Project Director. Born and raised in Mexico, Soledad saw the daily struggle of the families in the community and decided to help.

Where is the community center?

In 2001 Soledad built a vacation/retirement home for herself in a rural area of Tijuana, which borders the city of Rosarito. Since 2013, it became our EOAC Center.

How do we work?

3 times a year the board of directors travel to Rosarito, and get together for a big event to personally talk and listen to the local families and to ensure and check the their current condition.

Why does this matter to us?

Even though Rosarito is a beach community on the coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, many families live in bad conditions in which most of the time, they even suffer from the lack of basic needs: food, water, etc. As well, most families in the community have no easy access to grocery stores, facilities, etc. We care about these families because they deserve better. Eyes of a Child is engaged to provide many children in the Rosarito community the chance to dream and the opportunity to accomplish their dreams.
