We offer educational opportunities inside and outside the classroom to reduce the educational gap.
40% of children enrolled in the
education system miss school because of lack of food, water, and transport
Over 100,000 teachers have left the profession in recent years, and those that remain are struggling to survive on their almost worthless salaries
The implications of the crisis mean that an entire generation is at risk of being left behind, missing out on opportunities for educational and social development.
We support our partners in their work to provide children and young people with these vital opportunities - both in and outside of the classroom - and help them achieve their full potential.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
Through the Chamos Scholarship Programme, we provide 3 young people the opportunity to attend Universidad Metropolitana, one of the most prestigious universities in the country. Our programme supports these students throughout their university career, giving them certainty of funding all the way until they graduate.
NUTRITION AT SCHOOL
Hunger is one of the biggest reasons for children not attending school in Venezuela. Since 2018, we have been supporting a programme that provides 460 students and teachers with daily balanced meals, significantly increasing attendance and improving children’s ability to learn while at school.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Community participation and socialising are as important to children’s development as a formal education. We work on projects to offer these opportunities - from recreational activities and toy donations to extracurricular courses. We have supported 4 participatory design programmes, through which children transform a public space in their community, teaching practical skills as well as fostering creativity, sustainability, and teamwork.
WELLBEING & DIGNITY FOR SCHOOLCHILDREN
All children have the right to attend school with the resources they need to learn. We provide school support scholarships that include medical checkups, daily meals, and school supplies; as well as donating basic resources such as shoes and uniforms that enable children to learn with dignity.
RESOURCES & INFRASTRUCTURE
Since 2014, we have been providing schools with the tools they need to ensure children get the most out of their education: from donating computers and tablets, to improving facilities like playgrounds, bathrooms and classrooms.
REDUCING THE ATTAINMENT GAP
For many young people living in Petare, one of the biggest favelas in South America, studying and prioritising education is close to impossible. We sponsor 40 students on a programme that supports them through their final years of school, aiming at reducing dropout rates and giving them opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to them.Â
