Karly Godoy
Photo Courtesy: Karly Godoy Karly Godoy was born in Los Angeles, California, to a South African mother and a Mexican father. Her mother, an educator with a deep passion for supporting children with special needs, played a central role in shaping Karly’s life path. When Karly was three, her family relocated to Mexico, where her mother opened a yoga center. Later, they moved to a serene mountain town about an hour and a half from Mexico City. In 2003, her mother founded Tashirat, a home for children who had little to no chance of being adopted — many with physical or developmental disabilities. Karly joined the project in 2005 and gradually took on more responsibilities. A few years later, she became the director of Tashirat, where she continues to live and work today.
Karly has two biological children, a 16-year-old son and a baby daughter. Since 2005, she has also parented many generations of children in Tashirat, who she continues to be a Mom to. Under her leadership today, Tashirat is home to 25 children, most of whom have disabilities. |
