• Helping Baja’s Sea Turtles (Campamento Don Manuel Orantes) Campamento Tortuguero Don Manuel Orantes is a program dedicated to
  helping Cabo’s sea turtles which are endangered. They “hatch and
  release” eggs in a sanctuary next to the San José del Cabo estuary. This
  non-profit organization can use help through donations, volunteering or
  sponsoring a turtle.
• Un Refugio de Amor para la Mujer y sus Hijos A.C. This is a domestic violence shelter that is designed to give temporary help to women who have suffered domestic violence. They hold
  workshops that provide women with basic skills such as cooking, hair
  dressing, English speaking skills and handcrafting. Their goal is to
  help women become employable so that they do not return to a situation
  where domestic violence is present. They are in need of regular
  donations of nonperishable food and hygiene needs such as toilette
  paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, perfumes, deodorants, soap,
  clothing, and new underwear for both children and women.

• Yo Reciclo This is a recycling organization that both collects recyclable
  products and seeks to promote awareness in the Cabo San Lucas community
  about reducing your carbon footprint. They hold children’s and community
  workshops at a local organic food market that alerts the community
  about ways to be more green. They need both volunteers and money.
• Casa Hogar: Casa Hogar is an establishment that assists young boys in need in the Cabo area. Casa Hogar provides housing and living necessities for these children, and also provides a nurturing environment to grow up in that all children deserve. The boys at Casa Hogar range from the ages of 7 to 15, and all require some basic needs that they are not receiving at their homes. It is Casa Hogar’s mission to allow these young boys to grow up into young men, who are productive members of society.
