At Friends of Pimpollo, our belief is that education is the key to effecting change in the world.  Our work strives to promote opportunities through education in Southern Mexico.  We not only focus on providing material resources, but we work to be present in the lives of those we serve.

We operate as an all-volunteer and sponsored-intern organization, which ensures that nearly 100 percent of donations are applied to our programs directly - making a difference in the lives of hundreds of very deserving children and adults.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supported by the generous contributions of our donors.  All donations are tax deductible.

Friends of Pimpollo has experienced exciting growth and change over the last several years.  For an update on our current programs, click the "About Us" tab above.
