Let’s End Poverty by Creating Opportunities for Student Success In Poverty Stricken Families in Bolivia

Typically poor families in Bolivia live in a one-room shack with no table, no chairs, and no sanitation. Students have to sit on the edge of the bed to do their homework. There is hunger. There is no money for study books. The Bolivia Education Foundation helps create a thriving learning environment by providing them with daily breakfast and lunch, school supplies, study books, and in the afternoon a class room with a teacher for doing homework.
The result: HAPPY, EDUCATED, SUCCESSFUL, EMPLOYABLE, YOUNG ADULTS

Casa de Educación

The sons and daughters of poor families do not have the means to attend high school and escape their systemic poverty. The purpose of the Bolivia Education Foundation is to set up Casas de Educación to make it possible for these boys and girls to successfully finish high school.

Our Casas de Educación are hosted by high schools and consist of: an eat-in kitchen with a cook, and an afternoon classroom where they can finish their homework with the help of a teacher.

All this support will help them get their high school diploma, giving them the possibility to pursue free tertiary education, a job, and leave poverty behind.
