Asociacion Esperanza y Caridad

In order to battle malnutrition and starvation, the Association began feeding approximately 150 children. In 1987, it acquired land and built a preschool and cafeteria. As the Association raised the necessary funds, it slowly purchased more land and added more facilities and services. An elementary school was built in 1992; and in 1999, the first students completed the sixth grade. The building for the high school began in 2000 and in 2010 we had our first graduating class. One student was admitted to the University and six students obtained scholarships to the Vocational School. In 2011, we had our second graduating class. Two students were admitted to the University and four students obtained scholarships to the Vocational School.
