For children in Chongón, Ecuador, access to a quality education is extremely limited. In this community, only an average of 20 percent of students graduate high school, limiting their income earning potential and prospects in life.
But the Young Living Academy stands strong as a beacon of hope in the community because of the tremendous opportunities it provides to its 350 students! From an International Baccalaureate curriculum designed to empower a rising generation of well-rounded changemakers, to a variety of extracurricular activities that allow students to explore their passions, to scholarship opportunities that help our graduates pursue their higher education goals, families across the community are eager to send their children to the Academy. Unfortunately, this has made the admissions process extremely competitive each year and for each of our 350 students, we're forced to turn a heartbreaking number of children away because we simply don't have the space.
That's why this Giving Tuesday, I need your help expanding opportunity for more children in need in Chongón! Your support will help the Academy expand it's capacity to accommodate 1,000 students over the next several years! And when you donate, 100 percent of your donation will go directly to this project to change children's lives. I hope you'll join me in making a difference this Giving Tuesday!
Its been a pleasure for us to have been supporting this foundation for the past few years and we’re excited and grateful to get to give back in another way!
