Help break the poverty cycle in Venezuela by providing scholarships and individualized mentorship to underprivileged college age students (individuals who live in poverty and are first generation to attend college). Currently, 60% of college age students face either not attending college or dropping out in order to work and help their families (El Nacional Feb. 26, 2018 - Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida 2017). Unless your support is provided, these students will most likely drop out of college.

Research* shows that 3 out of 4 children are unable to attend school regularly due to hunger and malnutrition. Foundations Pabellon con Arepa and Oportunidad y Futuro have partnered to buy groceries and ensure they are efficiently used by school pantries in La Vega, one of the poorest sectors of Caracas, Venezuela. Your contributions will provide daily meals to over 800 children. This will significantly decrease drop-out rate and keep children in school. *Encuesta Condiciones de Vida 2017- UCAB
