John Kennedy, SVD

With the valuable support of Fundación Gigante A.C., generous individuals, companies, and partner organizations, the Arnoldo Janssen Foundation A.C. carried out the 2025 School Supplies Campaign with the goal of giving children from Indigenous and migrant communities the opportunity to begin the school year with hope, dignity, and the basic tools they need for learning.

In this year’s campaign, backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed across various states and communities in Mexico:

Hidalgo: 65 backpacks were delivered in the municipality of Santiago de Anaya, distributed among the localities of González González, Mantha, and Tablón Chico.

Oaxaca: 88 backpacks were distributed in the municipality of Santa Cruz Yagavila across the communities of San Juan Tepanzacoalco, San Pedro Yaneri, Santa María Zoogochi, Santa Cruz Yagavila, Santiago Teotlasco, San Juan Yagila, San Miguel Tiltepec, and Santa María

Josaá: 68 backpacks were given in the municipality of San Juan Yaee y 30 backpacks were distributed in the community of San Juanito Chapultepec.

Morelos: 50 backpacks were delivered in La Joya, in the communities of Álvaro Leonel and Revolución del Sur.

Mexico City: 110 backpacks were given to children and adolescents from the Purépecha and Tlapaneca communities located in the boroughs of Coyoacán, Xochimilco, and Iztapalapa.

Chiapas: 65 backpacks were distributed in the municipality of Playas de Catazajá, in the localities of Juan Sabines Guerrero, Tomás Garrido, and Benito Juárez 1ª Sección.

Guerrero (Acapulco): 30 backpacks were delivered to children as support for families affected by the hurricane.

In total, the campaign benefited 506 students—237 girls and 269 boys—between the ages of 5 and 14.

A heartfelt thank-you to the companies and individuals who generously collaborated in the 2025 School Supplies Project.

Your support not only fills backpacks but also fills hearts—transforming the lives of children and opening new paths of hope for their future.
