Las Memorias Hostel, Mexico

Albergue Las Memorias, México

Albergue Las Memorias (Las Memorias Hostel) is a non-profit civil association based in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, founded in 1999 with the mission of offering compassionate, dignified care to adults and minors living with HIV/AIDS, as well as those struggling with addictions. The shelter provides free services—housing, food, medicine, transport to medical appointments, and self-help sessions—regardless of a person’s gender, religion, or origin. Over the years, Las Memorias has become a vital support center for marginalized people, operating without imposing a political or religious agenda. In addition to basic care, the hostel is deeply committed to educational work, hosting prevention programs, creating internal self-help groups, and offering community support. It has also taken on public health challenges, especially by caring for people with active tuberculosis, and has even built a special TB pavilion. With the help of its international partners, Las Memorias is striving to make its operations more sustainable—for example, by installing solar panels to reduce electricity costs, so more resources can go into patient care.
