Our Story
The Tarahumara Children's Hospital Fund was established to uplift the Tarahumara people, who endure extreme poverty in Mexico's Copper Canyon. Founded by Father Verplancken in the early 1960s, this organization has dedicated itself to providing essential health care, education, and preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Tarahumara. Under the leadership of Fr. Enrique Mireles, S.J., the mission has expanded to include vital projects that enhance living conditions, such as health clinics, a boarding school, and clean water initiatives.
