Students from Morazan rural schools use science to solve challenges and break cycles of poverty. This is an innovative strategy where students research solutions to real problems faced by small-scale farmers, improving productivity, strengthening family economies, and promoting environmental sustainability, all while linking theory with practice. With your support, they will transform knowledge into local development.
In the rural communities of El Salvador, education lacks a connection to reality. Young people learn theory but not how to solve the real challenges their families and local producers face: low productivity, degraded soils, water scarcity, and a lack of opportunities. This limits their employability and local innovation, perpetuating rural poverty, dependency on external inputs, and migration.
The program turns classrooms into living laboratories. Students design and implement research to improve agricultural productivity, conserve natural resources, and create innovative solutions to local challenges. In this way, they strengthen the family economy and community resilience through education. They receive teacher mentorship and financial support to execute their research, thereby strengthening technical capacity, innovation, and local development.
The program will form a generation of young rural researchers from 14 public educational centers in Morazan, El Salvador, capable of innovating, becoming entrepreneurs, and improving their environment. With applied education and scientific thinking, migration will be reduced, sustainable agriculture will be strengthened, and local economic development will be boosted, starting in the schools.
