Humanitarian Aid and Holistic Accompaniment
In our early years, KBI primarily served migrants deported back to Nogales. We continue to provide assistance to those individuals as well as people fleeing violence from Mexico and other countries who, because of US policy, are not able to access immediate safety in the US but are instead stranded in Mexico. KBI works to promote humane, just and workable migration through: direct humanitarian assistance and holistic accompaniment of migrants; education and encounter between migrants and others that transforms people and communities towards solidarity with migrants; and policy advocacy in Mexico and the US. Our vision is migration with dignity.
We respect the dignity, will and abilities of migrants; and journey with them recognizing the physical, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions of their realities. At our Migrant Outreach Center, we offer humanitarian assistance to migrants in Mexico. Some of the services include: food, shelter, clothing, and medical attention. We see migrant men, women and children as whole people and God’s children who are more than their experience of migration.
