Emergency relief for Rural Communities in Paraguay

As the school slowly recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, the students finally have the opportunity to do in-person classes again. This return has had a major impact on the students, as they got to meet their peers again and start to reduce the impact that COVID-19 had on their education. With the funds received this month from our GlobalGiving donors, we were able to keep on complementing the dietary requirements of our students, motivating them in their studies. The 51 students attending the Belén Agricultural School come from different areas of Paraguay, such as San Pedro, Tacuati, Pedro Juan Caballero, and Concepción. They receive quality education training in Rural Promotion, which is later transformed into skills that they can put into use in their own families.

Thanks to the generosity of our GlobalGiving donors, we were able to feed all 51 students who attend the Belén Agricultural School. These students come from poor, rural areas such as San Pedro, Tacuati, Concepción, and Pedro Juan Caballero, with the goal of receiving quality education to escape from poverty. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, classes were being held virtually for most of the past two years. As COVID-19 cases decline in Paraguay, students are finally able to do in-person classes again. For many of them, this means having access to a nutritious meal for the first time in a while.
