On September 19, 2017, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck central Mexico. Widespread destruction and disruption occurred with thousands of homes, school and community buildings either destroyed or damaged. in March 2018, All Hands and Hearts opened a program in Morelos with the goal of restoring education to children in the region. The organization worked alongside Happy Hearts Fund Mexico to reconstruct the Narciso Mendoza Primary school, completed in September 2018. Additionally, work at the Vicente Guerrero Primary School was completed in October 2018. The completion of both schools ensured that students have a safe, disaster-resilient school long after the end of the program.
