Cancun
Cancun is situated on the Yucatan Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea. Cancun is mostly known as a tourist destination, a reputation that is in stark contrast to the high rate of poverty. The area is home to many street children and vulnerable orphans who are at-risk of falling victim to the child trafficking business that is thriving in Cancun. It is difficult to break the cycle of poverty since public education ends after the 9th grade. Unemployment rates are high, and the national minimum wage is less than five dollars a day, with many making even less than this. Back2Back began working in Cancun in 2010, and along with caring for orphans there, focuses on preventative orphan care by ministering to single mothers in the community.
