Our partner organization, Fudeconec, owns a school in Guayaquil in which they manage several educational projects. In the morning, approximately 130 kids between the age of four and thirteen attend kindergarten and elementary school. As morning becomes afternoon, the school transforms into a study hall for approximately thirty older students who strive to obtain their high school diploma. Then, on the weekends, adults hit the books in an effort to gain their high school diploma or just extend their education. Lastly, students come to the school to learn a new trade in an effort to gain employment. 

 

For the participants, education is the key that unlocks them from the cage of povery.  Fudeconec covers the school fees for those students who are unable to pay. Often, the school provides a sanctuary away from a day on the streets and an environment of alcohol, drugs and crime. The organization needs your financial support in order to continue these supportive functions.
