La Soledad: The Church for Migrants in Mexico City
In the heart of Mexico City, next to the iconic yet challenging neighborhood of Tepito, lies La Soledad shelter, a sanctuary for hundreds of migrants from various corners of the world. This sanctuary offers more than just a place to rest; it provides sustenance, medical assistance, legal guidance, and refuge for those migrating towards the United States.
Among its occupants are over 400 individuals residing in tents on the plaza adjacent to the sanctuary. Their hopes are pinned on a text message that will tell them if they have been admitted to the asylum program offered by the United States. However, behind the daily routines and acts of solidarity lies the dilemma of migrant children and adolescents who make their way to this site. Organizations such as World Vision Mexico and UNICEF have joined forces to address these pressing needs, implementing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives to safeguard health and well-being.
The stories of families like Luzmar and Yesmelis serve as reminders of the trials in search of a better future. From the jungles of Darien to the bustling streets of Mexico City, their odyssey is marked by resilience. Despite setbacks and uncertainties, their determination remains steadfast, fueled by the dream of a safer tomorrow for their children.

WASH in Fragile Contexts Project Summary
A fragile context is a geographic area where political and social pressures make people vulnerable to conflict and fracture institutions that should protect them. It is often characterised by violence and instability that impact social, political, and economic life. Additionally, fragile contexts face environmental challenges and climate change such as recurring natural disasters, flooding, or drought.
This project aims to document how to deliver high-quality WASH services in fragile contexts and to assess short-term and longer-term effects of high levels of coverage of these WASH services on fragility, vulnerability, and resilience. These projects are being implemented in Bangladesh, Burundi, and Mozambique, each facing a unique combination of fragility ranging from remote cyclone-prone hilly regions in Bangladesh, to extremely low-income drought-and-flood affected districts in Mozambique. This diversity of location allows World Vision to better document and demonstrate the impact of focused programming within the project itself, as well as translate these learnings to improve WASH implementation in other fragile contexts for both World Vision and the broader sector.
