Nicaragua  Education
Most children in Nicaragua never finish grade 6. Often, they are taken out of school to work on the family farm or elsewhere. Although public education in the elementary years is free in Nicaragua, many families can't afford the related costs of sending their children to school. Even fewer can afford the school fees in higher grades. Our project goal is to establish a scholarship program, based on need and ability, to provide incentives to help families keep their children in school. project reportread updates from the field
