What we do?
Casa de Educación
The sons and daughters of poor families in Bolivia do not have the means to attend high school and escape their systemic poverty. The purpose of the Bolivia Education Foundation is to develop a Casa de Educación program to make it possible for these boys and girls to have the tools they need to successfully attend high school, find a job and leave poverty behind. A Casa de Educación consists of a kitchen, a lunchroom, and a study room hosted by an existing school community.
