The initiative aims to ensure that students have the essential resources they need to stay in school and succeed academically.
The first delivery took place in the Sánchez Taboada delegation, where 200 school packages were handed out.

He reaffirmed City Hall’s commitment to standing alongside families and fostering conditions that support the healthy development of children and teenagers.

Supporting Students Across Tijuana
Guadalupe Rubio Cucue, the city’s Delegations Coordinator, noted that this initiative is part of a citywide effort to bring government services directly to residents.
“Mayor Gutiérrez has instructed us to deliver school supplies to every district,” she explained. “Our goal is to support families and provide students with the motivation and tools they need as they return to the classroom.”
As part of the ceremony, officials made a symbolic presentation of six backpacks with supplies in each district, recognizing a small group of children who represent the hundreds of students set to receive assistance.
The events were attended by Teresa García Bañuelos, delegate of Sánchez Taboada, and Martha Montejano Cárdenas, delegate of La Mesa, along with the beneficiaries.
