En Vía is committed to supporting social and community development through the combination of three main programs: microfinance, responsible tourism, and education. We began working with communities in Oaxaca in 2008 and were formally founded in 2010.
We support the growth and creation of income-generating businesses, and encourage personal development through participatory programs that promote the empowerment of women, the well being of their families, and the strengthening of community.
En Vía's no-interest loans, generated from our microfinance tours, ensure that our borrowers have a more viable option than commercial banks, which lend at an average interest rate of 70% in Mexico. Our borrowers are then able to leverage their loans to have a real impact on their small businesses, their lives and ultimately the entire community.
We offer a variety of educational programs such as English and Internet classes, as well as business classes in the local communities of Oaxaca. Our programs are supported by a wonderful team of volunteers, including our team of volunteer English teachers. The classes are a great project to get involved in--we have a lot of fun, and it really makes a difference in the communities!
Join us today! We are currently recruiting teachers for our new English program. We welcome teachers at all times of the year, if you are not available at the moment but further in the future, please get in touch.
We also host internships and can complete any paperwork required by your college/university.
