In Mexico, 4.9 million families rely on remittances sent from the United States. Each month, these families receive an average of $6,800 pesos, with 50% of this amount allocated to purchasing food, a vital necessity for their daily survival. Remittances not only fund essential consumption but also help alleviate unemployment and poverty, significantly contributing to the well-being of low-income households.

Since the beginning of Donald Trump’s administration, remittances have faced challenges due to economic and political factors, reportedly experiencing a 40% decline.

The fluctuation in remittances has a profound impact on Mexican families. Millions of households are affected, with many losing their primary source of income. This not only jeopardizes their immediate well-being but also creates uncertainty about their economic future. In particular, 1.9 million families find themselves in an even more vulnerable position as their main source of income has been reduced or interrupted.
