First of all, THANK YOU for your donations and on-going support for The Las Claras Program. Your actions have been key in the success of the program.
After 2 years filled with difficulties and teachings, we started this 2022 with great enthusiasm to do new things and return 100% to normal.
The great news is that the Las Claras Center of Felipillo is expanding and growing in order to be able to support more teenage mothers, girls and women of the community. This construction is estimated to be completed in September of this year and we are very excited about this. MORE TO COME ABOUT THIS!
In the first months of the year, we implemented our Veranito Las Claras program, focused on the prevention of adolescent pregnancy for 35 girls from the community between the ages of 7-14.As for our girls who are currently in the center, they have already started the second phase of the program with the beginning of the bachelor's degree and administrative assistant program, have also continued to receive a variety of workshops and classes, on top of the fixed syllabus. Furthermore, monthly parent/caretaker reunions are still going in order to maintain family peace, and to motivate their support towards their daughters so they can finish their studies.
Las Claras started with the belief that a profound social transformation could only be achieved through the power of education. Now, we have successfully graduated 10 groups of teen mothers who have received a double degree in Bachelor of Commerce, with a specialization in Accounting from the Gastón Faraudo School, and a Technical Program degree from INADEH. We have graduated bilingual professionals that have been successfully inserted in the labor market, with a large percentage of them pursuing university studies and scholarships for international exchanges. 100% of our graduates have improved their social skills, communication, self-confidence and personal habits. All of our students believe that the only way to transform their lives, reduce teenage pregnancy and get out of poverty is through education.
Once more, we THANK YOU for your continuous support in this quest for a better quality of life for teen mothers and their children. PLEASE keep donating and invite others to join us in this quest with their donation!
More action still to come. Stay tuned :)
