Help Poor Rural Girls in Paraguay go to University

Thank you to each and every donor who made this moment possible! Your support doesn’t just fund education;  it opens doors, creates confidence, and allows young women from rural Paraguay to imagine futures that once felt out of reach.

Emily Fiatkosky, Best Graduate of the Class of 2025 at the Mbaracayú Educational Center, is now stepping into a new chapter of her life. Thanks to a full scholarship, Emily has begun her studies in Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resource Management at EARTH University in Costa Rica; an international institution recognized for its hands-on approach, leadership training, and strong commitment to sustainability and social impact.

Emily arrives at EARTH carrying everything she learned during her years at Mbaracayú: discipline, responsibility, teamwork, and a deep respect for nature and community life. The boarding-school experience shaped her not only academically, but personally, teaching her how to live collectively, lead with empathy, and face challenges with confidence.

For Emily, studying at EARTH is more than attending university abroad. It represents trust in her potential and the chance to grow into a professional who will give back to her community and to the land that shaped her. Her journey reflects what becomes possible when talent meets opportunity.

From all of us, thank you for believing in students like Emily. We hope this is just the beginning — and that many more graduates will follow this path, carrying their roots with them as they build a better future.

Thanks to your generosity, the young women of the Mbaracayu Educational Center celebrated the inauguration of their new multi-purpose sports court in the Mbaracayu Forest Reserve.

This project was a student-led initiative under “Sports as a Tool for Development”. Your contributions helped make this dream come true — creating a safe, inclusive space where students can grow, play, and lead together.

The new court is more than just a place for sports. It’s a symbol of empowerment, teamwork, and the transformative power of education. Because of you, rural girls at Mbaracayu are not only pursuing their studies but also building confidence, leadership, and community spirit.

Thank you for believing in their potential and helping make these dreams a reality. 

Your continued support will help more rural girls from Paraguay access higher education, develop their skills, and create sustainable futures for themselves and their communities.
