About Us
In Mexico, Corazon de Vida provides for the basic survival needs of the children of Baja, we do so because we KNOW that when children do not need to focus on SURVIVING, they can focus on creating a better future for themselves and their communities.
In the US, Corazon de Vida provides opportunities for LEADERSHIP and CONTRIBUTION. We do so because we KNOW that people want to have PURPOSE in life and are looking for ways to contribute their TIME, TALENTS and RESOURCES.
