This December, your gift can go twice as far!
A very generous donor has once again pledged to match every dollar raised, up to $10,000, through Amistad Canada for EEESMA School for the Deaf. That means your contribution this month will have double the impact in helping Deaf children reach their full potential.
For many of our students, the school van is their only way to attend class. Without it, children would lose access to education, communication, and the community that is transforming their lives. We urgently need your help to keep this vital service running.
EEESMA provides a life-changing bilingual education in Mexican Sign Language (LSM) and written Spanish, empowering Deaf children and young adults to learn, communicate, and grow with confidence and independence.
Please consider making your end-of-year gift to the EEESMA School for the Deaf, Transportation Project through Amistad Canada. With your help we can keep the wheels turning and continue bringing Deaf children to school every day. We recommend an e-transfer through your on-line banking platform.

Challenge
20 Deaf students travel daily from rural areas to EEESMA. The school’s passenger van safely transports 13 children each day, but many others live beyond the van’s route. For these students, EEESMA purchases bus tickets for public transportation to ensure they can attend school. The costs of gasoline, maintenance, insurance, driver, and public bus fares continue to rise. Without support, some Deaf children may lose the opportunity to attend school, placing their education at risk.
Solution
With your help, EEESMA can continue operating its school van and support public transportation for students who live too far away. $12,000 USD per year will cover van operation costs, including fuel, maintenance, insurance, and a dedicated driver. $8,000 USD per year will provide public transportation for seven additional children. Your donations will ensure that every Deaf child who wishes to learn has reliable transportation to and from school every day.
Long-Term Impact
Regular attendance at EEESMA allows Deaf children to develop language, literacy, and life skills, opening the door to education, confidence, and future employment. By helping 20 Deaf children travel safely to school each day, you are ensuring they have the chance to graduate, learn vocational and computer skills, and eventually find meaningful work.
Together, we can make possible what was once only a dream: a future full of opportunity for Deaf children in Mexico. Donate Today
