Undocumented minors Prevention and orientation projects

This undertaking by VIDES+USA seeks to alleviate the migration crisis on multiple fronts starting at the roots in Latin America.

On the home front, we reach out in places such as Laredo and San Antonio to accompany those on their journey, especially the vulnerable minors who have risked everything to cross the border.​
