Improve the level of education of people in impoverished communities where solidarity is promoted via active and committed volunteers within a secure, amicable and safe place, wherein educational programs operate improving educational levels and emotional conditions and where creativity is stimulated and work opportunities are unlocked.
We aim to address two defining aspects of every empoverished communitiy: 1. Low academic performance of children of school age, due to the few hours they attend to school paired with the lack of adequate after school support to do their homework and answer questions. 2. Adults with low educational level which reduces their employment opportunities. In the last four years we have grown from 4 to 180 active students, from 2 to 115 volunteers weekly and from 4 to 80 courses weekly.
The objective is to buy a house to maximize our activities and be able to welcome more students. This due to the fact that the place where we were renting reached its maximum capacity. The house that we want to purchase is located just 25 meters from the community that we impact and has a cost of $200, 000. We have divided the house in areas, each area has a cost.
The entire house would be perfect for our activities because it has 10 spaced that can be transformed into classrooms, green areas, courts and even a space that would be perfect for audio and visual art classes. Invest in education, invest in future, invest in people!
