With the arrival of the pandemic, we adapted our approach towards arts and crafts training for mothers, which gave rise to the brand "Lola Montez", known as "the brand of second chances." In 2024, we plan to consolidate all our efforts under the "El Refugio de las Lolas" project, and other related programs, not only training women in various trades, but also offering comprehensive support to their young children and adolescents, who face dangers of addiction and microtrafficking.
