100%
community-guided programs and cultural assemblies

We work directly alongside ancestral and peri-urban Indigenous collectives in Jalisco, honoring their traditions, languages, and self-governed assemblies.
Mezcala de la Asunción
Colonia Indígena Sergio Barrios
Home to the Coca people, Mezcala maintains sacred communal lands on Lake Chapala. We partner on clean water access, youth nutrition, and cultural knowledge preservation.
Located in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, near the Guadalajara metropolitan area, Colonia Indígena Sergio Barrios is home to Indigenous families who migrated from different regions of Mexico and established a community in search of better opportunities.
Despite its proximity to one of Mexico's largest metropolitan areas, the community continues to face significant challenges, including limited access to education, healthcare, school transportation, and unresolved land ownership and property regularization issues.
At Fundación SHIPAKI A.C., we support families in this community by distributing essential food packages (despensas), helping alleviate immediate household needs and promote greater food security.
Your donation helps us continue providing essential assistance to Indigenous families who deserve access to basic services, dignity, and opportunities for a better future.
Together, we can build bridges of solidarity between California and Indigenous communities in Jalisco, Mexico.
