PSYDEH A.C. is an award-winning Mexican grassroots non-profit organization with national and international reach.
Our needed work links adult leader training and citizen education with human rights-based community organizing and local-led, high impact project production. Our goal? Empower Mexican citizens and their communities to lead the bottom-up, sustainable development of their own marginalized areas.
We currently work together with indigenous women to solve their own local problems in the four indigenous municipalities of the Otomí-Tepehua region of Hidalgo, central Mexico.

Soy como la tierra
Que siempre está activa
Se sobrecalienta al trabajar tanto
Sin embargo, contaba con un poco de hielo
Para tranquilizarse.
Como la naturaleza viva
Soy trabajadora con fuerza, justicia y voluntad
Para lograr lo que quiero para mí y los demás
Tanto como las plantas, la tierra y las personas
Para poder salir adelante con grandes logros.
Soy una mujer alegre, me gusta compartir y servir a las personas de mi comunidad, vivo en la región del Valle, mi comunidad se llama San José del Valle del municipio de Tenango de Doria, en donde se siembra café, aguacate, naranja, plátanos y limón.
