We are a Mentoring program working together with University students and students from public elementary schools. The University student becomes a mentor for a elementary school student during 10 months; on which the elementary student goes to the University campus to participate in activities one on one with his mentor, to develop social, cultural, affective, academic skills; helping them to continue studying. By doing so, we are breaking the poverty gap; due to the fact that the kid will continue studying and will have a better future and oportunities which will impact his family and community. By each elementary student helped by our program, the indirect beneficiaries are multiplied by three (family, school authorities and community). So far, in these 14 years we have helped 15,000 elementary students and 15,000 University students throughtout the country.
