Casa Jubileo/Centro Cultural Swanson

Organizational Overview

Casa Jubileo is a faith-based community and economic development ministry located in San Mateo Tecamachalco, Puebla, Mexico, dedicated to empowering youth, women, and underserved communities through holistic, faith-driven initiatives. Its mission is to support individuals facing economic and social exclusion by developing micro-business projects and creating opportunities for spiritual and economic growth. Casa Jubileo helps individuals identify and leverage untapped assets within their communities, promoting practices rooted in the biblical principle of Jubilee—offering an alternative to unjust systems that perpetuate marginalization. As part of the Jubilee Circles movement, Casa Jubileo mobilizes church volunteers and community members to foster economic self-sufficiency and spiritual development. A key component of the ministry is the Daniel Swanson Cultural Center, a vibrant hub for cultural, artistic, and ecological workshops. This center provides education in trades and crafts, while promoting creativity and skill-building. It reflects the ministry's deep commitment to sharing the love of Christ and advocating for salvation, justice, and inclusion. Casa Jubileo runs several impactful programs, such as the "Educating is also Loving" initiative, which focuses on early childhood development by serving children under six years old three times a week. Another program, "Restoring Youth," provides spiritual guidance to help teens navigate life’s challenges and strengthen family relationships. Additionally, Casa Jubileo offers monthly breakfast gatherings for the elderly, coupled with workshops tailored to their needs. Through these initiatives, Casa Jubileo continues to transform lives by integrating spiritual, emotional, and economic development, embodying Kingdom values in action.
