Smurfit Kappa Community Centre in Mexico
The Smurfit Kappa Community Centre in Ecatepec de Morelos, Mexico provides a range of educational programmes starting from early childhood and right through to university level.
Established in 2015, the centre is an integral part of the community and has touched the lives of many families. In addition to the academic programme, the children also have access to a broad and varied curriculum to help them reach their full potential including sports, environmental care and other recreational activities.
There is a talented and dedicated team of teachers, volunteers and allies who provide a safe and welcoming environment for children and young people to thrive. The centre is equipped with multi-purpose rooms, a greenhouse, dance studio, library and large areas of green space.
