Our Initiatives
Empowering through Education: Scholarships for Future Leaders
We work directly with Rodrigo Ilaquiche, the school superintendent in Guangaje, and the CEO of the Ecuadorian non-profit organization Fundacion Yanapak Jumandy. Sr. Ilaquiche is well-respected by the community, as he grew up there, and his parents still reside there. He and two other community members review the scholarship applications and make the selection of 4 students each year. He then meets monthly with each student to assess their progress, provide accountability and encouragement and disperse the money.
