Maria Prieto’s Fund

The María Prieto Fund was created in 2016 with the desire to maintain María’s presence and memory in the lives of many relatives and friends. There is no better way to remember and honor her than by being generous to the most vulnerable people, so that, through education, they can be more free and autonomous.

We manage this initiative from Entreculturas, an NGO promoted by the Jesuits, which defends the right to quality education for all people as a way to achieve a fairer world.

Over the years, the Fund has supported the Selva School project in Peru, improving the education of more than 900 Wapis and Awajun indigenous students and the training of 59 teachers in 3 schools in the Alto Marañón.

After the earthquake that devastated Mexico in September 2017, the María Prieto Fund supported the construction of homes for 4 Ikoots women, heads of families in situations of extreme vulnerability in San Mateo del Mar, Oaxaca.

Since 2020, the fund has promoted the dignified work of women in the North Selva of Chiapas and the Otomi communities of Texcatepec. Through work, women learn to generate economic income for consumption and for the creation of social reinvestment funds. This contributes to the empowerment of women, from the recognition of their capacities to the consolidation of their economy.

In this year 2023, the María Prieto Fund will continue to support projects in Mexico, and will expand its focus to the African continent, betting on quality education for vulnerable children in the marginal neighborhood of Kangemi, a shantytown neighborhood on the outskirts of Nairobi. This proposal seeks to contribute to the improvement of the well-being and quality of life of boys and girls and their families who are in a situation of greater vulnerability and who are attended by the parish of San José Obrero”.
