How to help:
450 dollars is enough to guarantee a child a middle school education and a key step to helping the student and their families escape the cycle of poverty.
Simply giving money directly to the families is an unsustainable way of helping the community; the funds will quickly run out without a specific long-term purpose. Instead, we have decided through our experiences that funding an education for these children would be the best asset in the community. With an education, these students will be able to offer assistance to their families, have improved career opportunities, and ultimately gain greater chances for long-term success.
General School Costs for a Ngobe Child:
