We Provide Humanitarian AidThe Green Valley-Sahuarita Samaritans (GV/S Sams) are made up of people from varied backgrounds who donate their time and money to those who are in dire need of physical and emotional assistance. We respect human rights and one's ethical responsibility to those who are suffering.
The map at the right shows the hazardous trek north through the dangerous Arizona Desertlands. Still, this does not deter people who are escaping life-threatening situations. A second map indicates the number of deaths and their locations in the Arizona borderlands from 1981-2023 where migrants have died attempting to make their way through the desert. Click on the link to the right to open a PDF of this map. In addition, several searchable maps, including "Lost Migrants" by name, "Total Deaths" by year, month, etc. and a number of other criteria are available on the Humane Borders website. |
