Who we are
The Colibrí Center for Human Rights promotes healing and change by working with families of disappeared migrants to identify and honor those who have lost their lives on the US-Mexico border.
What we do
The Missing Migrant Project & DNA Program
Colibrí’s Missing Migrant Project helps families find loved ones who have disappeared while crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Colibrí collects detailed missing persons reports and DNA samples from family members and works in close partnership with medical examiners to identify remains found in the Arizona desert. Once someone is identified, Colibrí compassionately notifies the family.
Family Network
Born out of families’ expressed need for emotional support, the Family Network is a community of families and friends searching for loved ones who disappeared while crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The network consists of secure, on-line meeting spaces, a quarterly magazine with resources for families, and local groups in major cities in the U.S. who meet regularly for connection and support.
Support Colibrí
The Colibrí Center for Human Rights has received more than 3,500 missing persons reports, has helped identify over 204 people who have lost their lives, and has helped hundreds of families find ways to grieve. This vital work depends on the support from people like you.
