Business partnerships are a vital part of what we do at Ciudad Refugio.  They help us generate economic resources for our projects, employment opportunity for those graduating from our programs, and long-term sustainability in the local community. 

Ciudad Refugio works to develop strategic partnerships with both local and international businesses, offering them opportunities to support our social service programs as well as providing human resources and facilities for storage and manual labor production processes. 

Our business partners also provide valuable job training, consulting, in kind gifts, donations, and employment opportunities for those graduating from our programs.
