Many of our kids come from generations of illiteracy. Having no one at home to help them with their homework and education not being a priority to their parents many of our older children have fallen years behind or have dropped out of school all together. We have partnered with a local, private, Christian school and developed an educational program to help our kids not only catch up but also graduate from high school. It costs $1,000 per student to attend this program each year. Please consider donating all or part of a scholarship to help stop illiteracy in El Salvador.
Each child is given an evaluation and eye exam to make sure they have no obstacles to learning. Brittany has 20/20 vision!
