We aim to create an equal environment benefitting vulnerable groups of people who join the project as Mates: as vendors of the print magazine and creators of its content.
Our magazine is a not-for-profit publication dedicated to documenting the unexpected in this beautiful, vibrant city that’s full of contradictions: Mexico City. We are part of the International Network of Street Papers (INSP).
Thanks to the work of voluntary workshop leaders and the social and editorial team at the magazine, the Mates receive training and gain useful skills which help them to achieve a better quality of life.
Mi Valedor (“My Mate”) is a social project that, through a bi-monthly magazine, workshops, and healthcare networks, offers vulnerable groups (homeless people, migrants, older people and disabled people) an opportunity to get back into the workplace and society. These people are the Mates.
At NGO Mi Valedor, we try to create an equal environment that benefits vulnerable populations, who join the project as Mates: as vendors of the print magazine and creators of its content (providing photographs and text). Their participation helps them regain skills and the sale of the magazine is a legitimate and reliable source of income for them.
