ContraCanto
Founded by Arturo Suaste in June 2022, ContraCanto has taken on a deeply human mission: to open doors of development through music education for a group of adolescents in Atlacholoaya, Morelos. In this community, where music, emotional health, and personal growth programs are scarce, ContraCanto stands as a space for transformation.
Supported by the Lucid Dream Foundation, ContraCanto works for the comprehensive well-being of these young women. Its focus is not only on teaching them to explore their voice as an instrument, but also on providing them with the tools to express themselves, find strength in it, and build a future full of possibilities.
This project is completely independent of private or government organizations and is supported by the solidarity of civil society.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings a touch of hope to the lives of these young women, demonstrating that together we can make profound change happen.
