About us
Mujeres en Cambio
is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to transforming the lives of women in the rural communities surrounding San Miguel de Allende. We focus on empowering girls and young women through education, offering scholarships that make it possible to attend Junior High, High School, and University.
For many families, continuing education is beyond reach. With your support, we provide the resources and encouragement these students need to pursue their studies, break the cycle of poverty, and create brighter futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Together, we are not only funding education—we are creating opportunities, inspiring confidence, and fostering meaningful change. With Mujeres en Cambio and your generosity, a new generation of women can thrive and lead.
Our History
Mujeres en Cambio was founded in 1995 in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico, when a group of dedicated women volunteers came together to explore ways to improve the lives of women in the surrounding rural communities. In its early years, the organization launched a variety of programs, including educational assistance, support for midwives, textile projects, and aid for women in prison.
By 1996, Mujeres en Cambio had formally established itself as a non-profit organization and began focusing its efforts on providing financial assistance to help girls and young women from rural communities continue their education—from Junior High through University. This focus on education has remained at the heart of our work ever since.
Today, Mujeres en Cambio is recognized as a charitable organization in three countries:
Registered as a 501(c)(3).
In partnership with Amistad Canada.
Authorized as a Donataria Autorizada.
Our work is made possible thanks to the dedication of local and international volunteers who give their time, energy, and hearts to this cause. We also rely on the generosity of individuals who contribute through donations, volunteering, or by helping spread the word about our mission. Together, we continue to create opportunities that empower girls and young women to build brighter futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Mission
At Mujeres en Cambio, our mission is to provide financial support so that academically promising girls from rural communities around San Miguel de Allende can continue their education. We believe that every young woman deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve her full potential, regardless of her family’s economic situation.
Vision
Our vision is a brighter future for the young women we support—one that offers them and their families a path out of poverty and the chance to build lives filled with dignity, opportunity, and hope. Education sets them on a life path radically different from that of their parents and positions them as role models within their communities. At Mujeres en Cambio, we are committed to recognizing, honoring, and empowering these girls and young women, so they can inspire change for generations to come.
