We are rallying our donors and sponsors to Give the Gift of Education in 2023! The last few years have brought unprecedented changes worldwide and Nicaragua is no exception. We are asking for donations to our scholarship drive to help support Nicaraguan families and provide a high-quality bilingual education for all students. We are providing scholarships for low-income students who qualify. We ask donors to consider becoming a recurring donor to make a lasting impact!
With a 2018 socio-economic crisis, the Covid-19 disaster, and multiple hurricanes since then, Nicaragua remains the 2nd poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Employment rates remained low in 2022, and we are suffering global economic deceleration with slow growth projected for 2023. Families live on approximately $3.65/day. Escuela Adelante cannot sustain the rate of scholarship requests without donor support. We must provide high-quality education. This is a problem we can solve together.
We can support low-income families during this difficult time of need by providing emergency relief to supplement their tuition at the school. Donors can provide a scholarship to help alleviate the financial pressure on the organization and the family. We can ensure that the school that the resources and tools available to provide high-quality bilingual education as well as serve nutritious food daily.
Once a donor selects a monthly donation amount, they can review the photos and description of the benefitting students. We will assign donors based on amount selected, since not every student has the same need. Donors have the potential to make an incredible, long-term impact in the lives of the students they sponsor. Through education, we can work to alleviate poverty so present and future generations impacted have more opportunities in life.
