Get to Know Us

How did Corazón Raíz begin?

Corazón Raíz was founded in 2021 to promote education in vulnerable indigenous and rural communities, as we are convinced that education is the path to achieving sustainable change.

Our co-founder and director, Fernanda de la Cerda, started her journey as a volunteer in various organizations in Mexico and abroad, where she witnessed firsthand the positive impact that civil society organizations can have and the immense amount of unmet needs.

This learning led her to found Corazón Raíz, convinced that Mexican talent and heart are so great that they can transcend borders and positively impact not only Mexico but also the less favored countries around the world.
