Causes: Education, International, Job Training, Promotion of International Understanding, Secondary & High Schools, Vocational & Technical Schools
Mission: Our mission is to empower the 18,000 far-flung low-income people of San Juan del Sur, to develop through education and improve their health. Current programs include providing biosand filters and eco-stoves in the rural areas, and funding and overseeing the free High School for Adults/ Technical Institute.
Results: By the end of 2017 the Free High School had graduated 1100 people. It enrolls over 500 people every year, the most-underprivileged in the region. Over 700 biosand filters have been given out. The latest appropriate technology is eco-stoves that emit less smoke, saving the lungs of women who cook and other family members. We have built or renovated 17 schools, including new pre-schools in rural villages.
Target demographics: Under-served low-income women and men who have been excluded from regular high schools
Direct beneficiaries per year: In 2018, over 600 people enrolled in our three high-school programs
Geographic areas served: The 250-square mile area of San Juan del Sur Nicaragua
Programs: Supplies and services exclusively for charitable activities for the relief of poverty and ignorance in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, primarily through our middle schools, high school, and Technical Institute, and through programs of appropriate technology working with villagers.
