GROW Initiatives
Early Childhood Education
Education is often not a priority in rural growing regions. GROW helps kids stay in school by offering engaging after-school programs, incentives, counseling, and parent workshops to ensure parents understand the power of education in breaking the cycle of poverty.
Micro Business
Finding jobs in rural areas can be difficult. This program teaches the fundamentals of starting a small business. Since 2010, GROW has facilitated many micro-business loans to help launch small businesses. Learn about Dulce and her business.
Higher Education
In partnership with Project Amigo, GROW provides comprehensive scholarships covering tuition, supplies, enrichment activities, and transportation. These vital services support students from middle school through college. Learn about Connie, one of our first college graduates.
Student Housing
Through Project Amigo, qualified college students can live at Casa Amiga, a residential facility near the University of Colima where the students room and board, and have study rooms with computers and internet access so that they can focus time and energy on their studies and their futures.
Health Care
Our initiatives focus on addressing social-emotional issues, bullying, and anxiety through outreach programs. Additionally, yearly vision, dental clinics, and medical equipment aid are key in ensuring our population can function in the best way. Learn about Angel and his life-changing.
Disaster Relief
In 2015, in the wake of some devastating storms, Organics Unlimited created a disaster relief program, setting aside a portion of all GROW funds for disaster relief. These funds can be distributed quickly on request through established aid organizations in both Mexico and Ecuador.
Environmental Health Coalition
These efforts focus on advocating for environmental justice in the San Diego/Tijuana border region. Learn about the Chilpancingo Colectivo here.
