CODENI A.C is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the rights of Jalisco’s most vulnerable and marginalized children. Through professional and community based initiatives, we work to improve the quality of life of at-risk children and thereby ensure that they have the opportunity for a brighter future.

At present, we provide direct services to more than 100 children and adolescents rely on the streets of Guadalajara’s historic downtown district for survival. Of the more than fifty families in our program, the majority belong to Mexico’s indigenous population, and all labor in the informal sector.

Our three primary areas are education, street outreach, and a comprehensive social work program. We are also conducting research projects examining the social, economic, and educational realities of at-risk children in Jalisco.
