The Kino Border Initiative has addressed the immediate material,
psychological, and spiritual needs of over 75,000 migrant men,
women and children in insufficient, makeshift and temporary
facilities, over the past 10 years.
After years of planning, the KBI is ready to move forward to build
a NEW facility to better meet our mission. Your support of the new
Migrant Outreach Center will enable the KBI to better meet the
increasing needs of migrants at the border and accommodate those
who want to witness for themselves the reality of migration through
volunteerism and educational experiences.
