Product Donations
Proytecto El Cuete is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (grant
# DA019829; Principal Investigator Dr. Steffanie Strathdee). This grant
supports the research component of the study only, and not the provision of
services.
Due to the highly marginalized nature of the population we serve, many of
our participants are in desperate need of shelter, food, clothing, basic
health care services and prevention/education materials. We work closely
with two non-governmental organizations who provide these services, who are
privately funded and independently staffed. Accordingly, they are constantly
in need of the following supplies:
- Clothes
- Bed linens
- Syringes
- Cottons
- Toiletry items (soaps, shampoos, combs, toothbrushes)
- Harm reduction brochures (in Spanish)
- Small bottles of bleach
Financial Contributions
You can also help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in Tijuana by contributing to one of
our partner non-governmental organizations. Please use the
contact form if you can help.
DONATIONS WELCOMED! Our Division Chief, Dr. Steffanie Strathdee, in collaboration with colleagues in Tijuana, Mexico, has launched a non-profit organization, "Prevencasa" aimed to assist the marginalized populations they serve. To enable U.S. donors to receive charitable tax receipts, the International Community Foundation has a "Friends of PrevenCasa Fund" set up to receive donations for PrevenCasa, which includes an online donation feature.
