Interested in financially partnering with an academy?
With academies, children can be taught an alternative to gang life.
La Limonada consists of ten neighborhoods destabilized by rival gangs. Teaching and supporting families and young children is the primary method of gang prevention. The need to rebuild the safe havens found in the academies is urgent.
Gaby rose above her lack of papers to receive an education.
Without a birth certificate, Gaby had no way of enrolling in public school and receiving an education. On top of that, Gaby’s mother found herself facing jail time due to her drug involvement. When a teacher at an academy heard about Gaby’s dilemma, she was offered a unique solution: studying with Vidas Plenas.
Ways to help rebuild.
Empower five children to attend an academy
Provide one teacher's monthly wage
Fund an entirely new class at an academy
