Description

Work-study Program

For our students and their families, the cost of secondary school (less than $100/year) is out of reach. For the small number completing primary school, they face a new financial hardship in attempting to cover school and transportation fees. There is a large absence of secondary schools within a safe walking distance of most rural villages. The combination of cost and distance are the cause behind over 80% of rural Honduran adolescents being denied access to higher education. We offer financial assistance in return for a 120-hour per year commitment to community service. For each year a student remains enrolled, the level of financial assistance increases 10% as an incentive to continue working towards their goal.

Youth Entrepreneurship Project

We address education inequality through the lens of self-sufficiency; we have established a program that ensures the sustainable financing of each secondary school. In partnership with national banks and universities in Honduras, each group of students is provided training on how to launch a small business. Afterwards, the revenue is reinvested towards the school fees of current and future students while helping them gain marketable skills.
