Consultants such as those videoing and editing videos, bookkeeping, computer work, social media, administrative tasks, publishing manuals, etc.
Financial institutions who benefit from the interest paid on the loans or debts. They often do not pay IDEAS for developing their clients.
Latin American Migrants: We seek to assist some of the 500,000 migrants from 11 countries who have gained residency in Mexico in the last 5 years. Many start businesses to sustain their families, with a significant portion being single mothers or women in vulnerable situations.
Binational Families: Returning Mexicans often face economic exclusion and loss of remittance income. IDEAS helps them and their families develop businesses through financial education and skill-building.
Financial Institutions: Many financial entities are hesitant to serve migrants. IDEAS educates them on the value of these populations. IDEAS provides potential with tools like infographics, training manuals and access to financial services such as loans and savings accounts. We train a substantial number of their staff who provide services like remittances, loans, investments, and savings.
Partner Organizations: NGOs, federal, state, and local government institutions, UN and international agencies, and others partner with IDEAS to support migrants and returnees. We train their staff to expand services and integrate entrepreneurship into their programs.
Volunteers, Consultants, and Students: Volunteers, part-time consultants, and students play critical roles, contributing expertise and gaining firsthand experience. We provide substantial education and valuable experience that help them now and prepare them for future work. Many report life-changing perspectives after working with migrant communities.
