Origins of Mexico Child Link

Mexico Child Link was founded in 1992 by Jonathan Getty & Colette Mc Ginnity, in response to the needs of abandoned & orphan children with learning disability in Puebla State, Mexico.
Mexico Child Link works in partnership with Fundacion Trebol de Puebla A.C., an independent Mexican charitable foundation, which we helped to set up and now fund and advise. This close relationship allows the project in Puebla to be run efficiently by Mexican staff trained in the field of learning disability.

Mexico Child Link provides a range of services for people with or affected by learning disability. The core project is a home for abandoned & orphan children with learning disabilities, near the town of Atlixco. Many of them are ex street children. The children live on a small farm in 2 specially built adobe houses where they are cared for in a family setting. The farm, based upon Permaculture & sustainable agriculture, provides a degree of self sufficiency for the project and allows the children to learn practical skills.
