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.
Santiago comes from a home with 3 generations of illiteracy. He is at risk of repeating the cycle if we do not intervene. please donate today and help stop the cycle of illiteracy for Santiago.
