Estado 29 Orphanage in Ensenada, Mexico
Estado 29 is an orphanage located in the small town of San Antonio de Las Minas
just north of Ensenada. Some of the children are orphans, while others came from abusive
or neglected living conditions. Often, these children were abandoned by their families or
found on the streets of Mexico trying to survive. The orphanage provides a safe haven for
more than 80 children where they are able to grow and learn in a nurturing Christian
environment.

Donated Goods: Mexico
charges an import tariff for all donated goods not used for personal consumption that are
brought across the Tijuana border. These taxes can be substantial as they are based
on the "estimated value" of the imported goods. Mexican authorities often
reroute travelers through an alternate border crossing at Otay Mesa if the imported goods
are deemed to have "commercial value". Because of the time and expenses
involved in importing goods, Steps of Hope Outreach does not accept or transport donated
goods to Mexico.
