CESFOM's History
Message from the director

Br. Raúl Ochoa C.S.

The year 2024 was a time of growth and consolidation for CESFOM. Although we are still a young institution, since we have been operating in our physical space for only four years, the number of people who have sought information, enrolled, and participated in our programs has increased.

Best of all, the number of students who have successfully completed the courses and workshops has been much greater than in previous years. This fills us with joy and satisfaction because we see that all our work and efforts have been worth it.

We are deeply grateful to all the individuals and organizations who, in one way or another, collaborate with CESFOM. It is thanks to their generosity and dedication that we have been able to move forward with our mission: to provide migrants and vulnerable individuals with opportunities for learning, training, and personal growth.
Although 2025 has not begun with the most promising financial outlook, we remain optimistic and hopeful that we will continue to receive the support of all those who believe in our project. May God bless each and every one of you.

Who we are?

We are a community center primarily dedicated to the training of individuals in situations of mobility. At CESFOM, everyone is welcome, regardless of their social status, religion, or sexual orientation. CESFOM was created as an extension of Casa del Migrante en Tijuana A.C. by drawing on its years of experience in the care and protection of migrants. Our work focuses especially on promoting social and workforce integration as essential steps toward a dignified, fulfilling, and stable life, always respecting each individual's autonomy. We firmly believe that integration into society and access to job opportunities not only strengthen the social fabric but also empower individuals to rebuild their personal goals and life plans. That’s why we offer courses and workshops that provide useful resources, tools, and skills to meet the challenges of living in a city as dynamic as Tijuana. In addition to promoting professional growth, we also emphasize personal development as a key strategy to face the adversities many migrants encounter. We foster resilience, self-confidence, and a sense of belonging. We also provide both face to face and telephone guidance, and refer individuals to specialized institutions that can meet their diverse needs.

Misión

To provide timely, comprehensive, and dignified care to migrants seeking to improve their living conditions, while safeguarding and promoting their human rights. Through training and educational support, we foster personal development, facilitate social and workforce integration, and support the continuity or safe redirection of their migration plans.

Visión

To be a leading institution in the training and empowerment of people in situations of mobility, contributing to their access to formal education, inclusive employment, and full social integration.
