Friend, education attacks poverty at the root level, allowing individuals to discover their God-given potential. Unfortunately, to students in impoverished areas, attending school is a luxury that many families may not be able to afford.
Thanks to Mano Amiga schools spread throughout Latin America and the Philippines, we are able to provide high-quality Catholic education to children from low-income families so they can develop the tools needed to succeed and break the vicious cycle of poverty. A scholarship is a lifeline to these children. Your support helps transform a family's life for generations. Learn More...
