Access to education
Access to education
Our schooling program is designed to break down the barriers to education for children and adolescents, helping them integrate into the public educational system. Many participants in the "Plan Padrino Una Luz de Esperanza" have experienced long interruptions in their education, are overage for their grade, or have never attended school. They also face challenges with documentation. We work to find alternative solutions to overcome these obstacles, ensuring their successful integration into the educational system.
