Welcome to our website.

Started in 1996 by Jesus and Maria Ruiz, JEM has worked diligently and sacrificially to build an orphanage/trade school for the most impoverished children in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Their dream is a full-scale facility and feeding center that empowers children with the skills needed to escape the cycles of poverty.
