More than Just Scholarships in Rural Ecuador
Actions
Share & SaveMore Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesChildren from indigenous rural villages are being increasingly left behind by main stream schooling as their families cannot afford the materials or transport. This leaves them without the opportunities that every child deserves. As well as following the national curriculum, students will be taught practical vocational skills that will aid them to gain employment upon graduation. This solution provides a huge impact as it provides for many more than scholarships alone can. ActivitiesBy providing free schooling and vocational skills we can ensure these indigenous communities get the same opportunities as everyone else. With very small contributions from families and graduates, the school will then become sustainable.

Latest Update from the FieldYet more secondary school educated childrenBy Dom Williams - Director of Latin American Projects, August 06, 2008 06:10 PM
The average rate of transition into secondary school is less than 10% for indigenous children in Ecuador. In our communities we are now looking at an 80% transition rate into secondary school for next year! Almost 20 children will be starting secondary school education in September, adding to the seven children who started secondary education last year and will move up a grade.
