Partnership that makes a difference Title

Here are the facts:

Mexican youth make a little more than 38% of the homicide victims in the country over the past decade. They have not only been the victims, but also a majority of the perpetrators – a trend found throughout the whole region. It is widely accepted that daily murders, and the glorification of criminals has made violence seem normal. As a result, bullying has also become a common behavior amongst young people of Mexico.

Here is the question:

Even though other parts of the world are experiencing high levels of violence, Mexico's case attracts attention with the apparent inability of the government and its institutions to face the epidemic. So, who else can step up to the responsibility of helping solve this violence problem?

Here is our answer:

NVP Mexico and UNAM University (the largest University in Latin America) have not waited for solutions to come to them – they have created their own. With the belief that education is the key, they have been going to schools and sport clubs around the country teaching young people that there is a different way - a nonviolent way.

Three years down the track, and here are the results:

30,000 teachers and 1 million young people educated.

We are so grateful to UNAM University and SENDVALU for helping us to pursue our mission with excellence and compassion. The young people of this world whom we serve deserve nothing less.
