DONATE

Cimientos Program, "Futuros Egresados", accompanies high school students living under conditions of vulnerability , so that they can graduate from high school. We work with more than 1900 students across the country; but many others are left behind. This project will allow us to reach more students, giving them an economic scholarship and personalized mentoring during the course of their high school education. This will positively affect their future providing more and better opportunities.

Challenge

In Argentina, 1 out of 2 youth drop out of secondary school with devastating consequences for their future. The main causes of this problem are: entrance to the labor market; economic difficulties to sustain the course of school classes; pregnancy or care of a younger sibling / child; lack of interest or consideration of school as necessary of their future. This project affects more than 1900 young boys and girls from vulnerable families who are at risk of abandoning high school.

Long-Term Impact

This project will accompany more than 1900 vulnerable youth in Argentina and their families so they can finish high school, work on their own life project and seek for more and better opportunities of development during their adult life. This will impact in their opportunity of obtaining quality formal jobs, ultimately helping curve the vicious circle of poverty.
