There are millions of children facing the challenge to keep on learning on their homes in Mexico. We would like to ensure that all of them can have a device with internet access in order to continue with their studies. This will also help to maintain contact with their teachers/mentors and allow them to have emotional and academic support. Our goal is to support at least 100 kids to continue with their studies in marginalized areas of Mexico City.
The health crisis that we are facing has impacted millions of students in our country because of the long periods that schools have been closed, especially for the young ones. Some of these children belong to the lower class of the country and they dont have internet access or electronic devices to keep on with their education. Also, there is an overwhelming situation for their parents who cant attend the academic necessities of their children and that is a big problem.
We want to provide 100 devices to 100 kids who are studying their last years of Basic education, allowing them to have internet access as well as the opportunity to have a mentor to offer educational assistance and emotional support. With these tools we can prevent students to quit their education in a short-term.
In 15 years, we have worked with more that 27,000 pairs all over the country in more that 90 Universities and 400 elementary schools. In these years we have seen children achieve a better future by continuing studying; children from the first generation are becoming mentors of the new children reaching our program. Society benefits from the program by having committed University students and more prepared children wanting a better future.
