Children of Mexico International
A South San Francisco charity that runs mission trips and supports children's programs in Mexico, not a local day care.
Acerca de
Children of Mexico International is a small charity with its base on Hemlock Avenue in South San Francisco, in northern San Mateo County. The directory filed it under child day care, but the organization's own website describes different work: it supports children in Mexico and organizes mission trips there, including one it calls Mission to Mexico 2026. There is no day care or clinic at the South San Francisco address, and no walk-in office hours are advertised.
The work in Mexico
The charity's contact page confirms its name, its South San Francisco address and the 2026 mission trip. Nonprofit directories add detail the organization has not confirmed here. They describe sharing communication techniques, therapy materials and equipment with programs for children with disabilities, including an orphanage in Guadalajara that uses augmentative and alternative communication and a center in Sahuayo, Michoacán, that offers hippotherapy. Treat that as a starting point and ask which projects are active now.
Giving, volunteering or joining a trip
Before you donate, ask for the organization's EIN and look it up in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search, which also shows whether its annual Form 990 filings are current. Ask how gifts are split between program work and trip costs, and whether a donation can be earmarked for one project. If you are thinking of traveling with a mission team, ask about the dates, what each traveler covers for flights and lodging, which skills are most useful (speech therapists, teachers and interpreters often are on trips like these), and what the travel safety plan includes. Therapists offering donated materials should ask which languages and devices the partner programs use.
A Peninsula base, projects abroad
The charity is easy to reach for supporters in South San Francisco, San Bruno, Daly City, Colma, Brisbane, Millbrae and Pacifica, with San Francisco just to the north, while the projects themselves are in Jalisco and Michoacán.
The phone number on this record is 650-583-6092; the charity's website lists (650) 784-6092. Use the contact page on childrenofmex.org to confirm details before you send materials or money.

Small international charities usually ask donors to check first, since shipping or carrying items is costly. Contact the organization with a list of what you have and ask what the partner programs can use.
