Abara is a nonprofit based in El Paso, TX, serving both sides of the US-Mexico border. In response to global migration in a polarizing world, Abara inspires connections beyond borders through mutual understanding, education, and meaningful action in pursuit of narrative, systems, and personal change. Abara hosts immersive border learning pilgrimages, supports dozens of migrant shelters on both sides of the border, and is developing Abara House, a borderland center located on a historic river crossing adjacent to the US-Mexico border fence. Abara cultivates space where people can move in humility across divides and respond in love to the challenges of our time. In the tradition of peace builders worldwide, Abara envisions a global beloved community flourishing through justice, peace, healing, and transformation.
