Our mission is to provide greater opportunities for children living in poverty through education. We do this through an innovative and inclusive model, with the potential to be replicated nationwide. We currently serve 1,200 students in our schools in Las Tunas and Garín and more than 280 young people through the Employment Inclusion Program. In 2024, María de Guadalupe Las Tunas was awarded the World's Best School Prize in Community Collaboration.

Sponsorship program
US$100 per month supports a student’s education
Sponsors are a fundamental part of the spirit of the Foundation, and that is why we make them part of institutional life. The doors of our schools are always open to welcome them. Their financial support complements the state and family contributions to ensure the sustainability of the project. Each sponsor receives our periodic communications, two special reports with information on the students' educational results, newsletters, and special events invitations. Sponsorship can be individual, institutional or from a group of people.
