Friends Of Accion Inc

Supported the operation of and improvements to the Merida Student Houses which house students who would otherwise be unable to attend higher education. The Men's House has been in continuous operation since 1995 and The Women's House since 2021. These facilities continue to provide a safe and nurturing environment for young people to further their university educations through professional licensure. In 2024, there were 17 men and 11 women in these programs, maximizing use of the facilities. In addition, in 2024, 3 scholarships were provided for school fees and expenses. Both houses are located in Merida, Mexico.

Supported construction and improvements on churches, ministry facilities or housing, in cooperation with teams of volunteers from U.S. churches. Projects are in selected villages scattered throughout the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The 2024 improvement projects focused on the village of Chuburna at a camp retreat center and an annex to a local church. In 2024, two teams, comprising 19 volunteers, completed those projects.

Several hurricanes in the 2024 season left Yucatecan communities in distress. Friends of Accion was able to provide 150 food packages to support families in three communities and 16 metric tons of corn for farmers in four villages.
