We are a nonprofit based in El Paso, TX, dedicated to fostering connection, learning, and action on the U.S.-Mexico border.

In response to global migration and growing polarization, we create spaces for education, advocacy, and peace-building—inviting people to listen, engage, and take meaningful action.

Through immersive Border Encounters, direct support for migrant shelters, and the development of Abara House—a first-of-its-kind peace-building center at a historic border crossing—Abara seeks to amplify unheard voices, challenge narratives, and cultivate a more just and connected world.
