Ambulantes Project

THE PROJECT

Ambulantes provides information about safer migration, health, and labor rights to migrant farm workers within Mexico, with a focus on workers from Oaxaca and Veracruz. The program also strengthens local civil society organizations so that they can build reliable community support networks for migrant workers and generates new learnings to capture worker voice.

Ambulantes partners designed the “A tu migración, ¡no te vayas sin información!” information campaign, including printed information, a social media campaign, and radio programming.

Alongside this information campaign, Ambulantes distributed face masks and hand sanitizer in communities of origin.

The program was made possible through funding from the Walmart Foundation. The findings, conclusions and recommendations presented are those of IREX alone, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Walmart Foundation.
