Project Report | Aug 5, 2025
At the 2025 midway point!

By Celia Lectora Aguayo | Executive director

Buenas noticias, querido/a donante:

Gracias a tu generosa contribución, continuamos impactando positivamente durante el segundo trimestre del año 2025 a nuestros/as jóvenes en riesgo.

Gracias a tu apoyo, hemos podido servir a 66 estudiantes en nuestros Centros de Apoyo Académico y Espacio Seguro (o el “Caney”), para un total de 214 instancias en que dichos Caneyes sirvieron para apoyo académico o como espacio donde estar y sentirse seguro/a.

Además, hemos realizado nueve intervenciones dirigidas a la comunidad docente, con lo cual hemos reforzadoel entorno educativo.

Cabe destacar que nuestros centros llamados Caney son el punto de enlace para la realización de proyectos tales como “Cibarí”, el cual está dirigido a estudiantes en transición de la escuela elemental a la intermedia. Estos/as estudiantes participan de un servicio continuo a través de actividades o reuniones junto con sus pares estudiantiles graduados/as del proyecto Bantú Yen-Yen, cuya edición más reciente se realizó en 2024.

Nuestra organización se encuentra en un momento muy significativo de su historia ante las realidades y el impacto de decisiones gubernamentales y la revitalización de nuestra plataforma filantrópica, ambas muy importantes para apoyar la transformación de nuestros/as jóvenes y, por tanto, de nuestra sociedad.

Te agradecemos e invitamos a seguir siendo parte de la transformación de nuestros jóvenes en riesgo en jóvenes de provecho a la sociedad, comunidad y fuerza laboral.

Igualmente, te exhortamos a disfrutar de los momentos más significativos que aquí te compartimos.

¡Gracias por ser parte de nuestra comunidad y por ayudarnos a seguir adelante!

Good news, dear donor:

Thanks to your generous contribution, we have continued to create a positive impact on our at-risk youth during the second trimester of 2025.

Your support allowed us to serve 66 students in our Centers for Academic Support and Safe Space (or “Caney”), for a total of 214 instances when these centers offered either academic support or a place to be and feel safe.

Additionally, we have intervened nine times with the teaching staff, which has helped to strengthen the academic environment.

It is worth pointing out that our Caney centers are the linking place for the organizing of our projects such as Cibarí, targeted to students in transition from elementary to intermediate school levels. These students participate in continuous services through activities or meetings along with their peer student mentors who graduated from the Bantú Yen-Yen, whose latest edition took place in 2024. project previously organized.

Our organization is currently in a very significant moment of its history due to the realities and impacts from government decisions and the revitalization of our philanthropic platform, both very important for supporting the transformation of our youths and thus of our society.

We thank you and urge you to continue being part of the transformation through which our at-risk youths become worthy members of their communities, workforce, and society.

We also encourage you to enjoy the significant moments that we continue to share here.

Thanks for being part of our community and for helping us move forward!
