Shelter of Jesus the Good Shepherd for the Poor and Migrant

Shelter of Jesus the Good Shepherd for the Poor and Migrant (Albergue Jesús el Buen Pastor del Pobre y el Migrante) is a refugee shelter in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico for Latin American migrants.

The migrants are injured and disabled by freight trains, frequently suffering amputation, in their attempted migration out of Latin America to the United States.

[1][2] The trains take the Chiapas-Mayab line, running north–south through Mexico and are called "The Death Express" or La Bestia "The Beast" by migrants.

[6][7] The shelter has been funded by private donations,[8] and by the United States Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration,[9] and Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

[11] The shelter was founded in the late 1990s by Olga Sanchez Martinez,[8][6] recipient of the National Human Rights Commission of Mexico's National Human Rights Prize [es] in 2004.
