Education is a Key point in helping these communities. Most children in these rural communities attend school until 6th grade. any education past the 6thgrade requires the student to travel to the nearest village with a high school. Parents must pay for transportation expenses to and from school, meals, notebooks, and textbooks. The parents of these rural communities simply cannot afford these expenses. Less than 20% of the children in these villages do not attend High school. Through our foundation these children can attend high school by providing scholarships to cover the cost of education. In 2016 we had 28 students in High School and 26 in college. By offering children the opportunity of a higher education we are creating a brighter future for them based on self-sufficiency, independence, and self-esteem.
