The project "Fondo Unido" exists for around 40 years in Middle and South America aiming at providing children in need with a sustainable primary and secondary education as well as with a sound health care. This also benefits the social environment of the respective children that contribute to the local economy, give back to their communities and support other children in need, once they have successfully graduated and have built up a life of their own.
CETIS - Juarez
CETIS is a scholarship program for 100 students with insufficient financial resources for a proper education. The program enables the kids to finish with a full and official High School diploma which is the baseline for a higher education.
ConCiencia - San Luis Potosi
According to the PISA-studies only ~5% of the children in México that come from socially weak and rural areas possess over mathematical and analytical capabilities that qualify for a higher education. The project #ConCiencia, thus, provides 400 primary school kids in the afternoon with supervision and workshops in which mathematical and physical problem solving skills are trained and developed.
Constructive Mathematics - Juarez
This project is all about taking care of younger children in their free time after class. Instead of spending their time with local gangs on the streets, the kids are supervised and taught mathematical games and science puzzles.
