Migration

108 Thousand Migrants Have Entered Chiapas in Three Months

The migration catastrophe continues with all of the knock-on effects that it is having in the state of Chiapas. Official figures from the National Institute of Migration put the number of migrants at over 100,000 in the first three months of this year. The real numbers are, of course, much higher. As part of its ongoing collaboration with the Frayba human rights organization, Schools for Chiapas is currently recruiting volunteers to work at the Salto del Agua migrant center in Chiapas.
