Welcome to Friends of Pimpollo

Friends of Pimpollo (pronounced pim-poy-o and also known as FOP) develops and supports education based projects in southern Mexico, specifically in the states of Oaxaca and Chiapas.
Friends of Pimpollo operates as a volunteer organization, with an Intern and Executive Director based in Salem, Oregon. Generous donors make the work we do possible! The continuity of our educational programs relies on donors like you. Your assistance ensure that we are able to continue supporting these students and their educational needs. Monthly program sponsorships support the educational, nutritional, and daily needs of those involved in our programs. These monthly gifts provide a steady source of funding for our educational projects, allowing us to focus on the future of these programs. |
