  1. $333,233 spent. In 2024 the Yes We Can Mobile Schools Program continued operations with three schools two locations in Tijuana and one in Juarez Mexico for a total of three education relief programs. In 2024 since its inception the program has enrolled and taught over 4,000 children who would not have otherwise had access to an education due to their location legal status and financial hardship. Over 4,000 backpacks 4,000 school supply kits and 8,000 school uniforms have been given to children enrolled in the Yes We Can Mobile Schools Program. A majority of students in the program across all three locations were enrolled in the program for 3 - 4 months during 2024. In 2024 the Yes We Can Mobile Schools Program continued its operations enrolling more children in need and utilized its two mobile bus classrooms as well as supporting tents for classes. This also included family assistance services provided for a family that previously had children attending the Yes We Can Mobile Schools Program. This support helped to provide the family with school supplies groceries housing support and other living needs throughout the year. The expenses covered the costs related to this programming.
