1194 – College Education for Poor, Rural Students – Benque Viejo, Belize

Belize’s few institutions of higher learning are much too expensive for impoverished students, and are located in larger cities such as Belize City or San Ignacio. This situation is especially difficult for high school graduates who live in remote areas such as the Belize/Guatemala border town on Benque Viejo. This project will provide scholarships for eight impoverished students, enabling them to receive a quality college education — an achievement that would otherwise be unattainable. A gift from you will not only pay for the scholarships, but will also help fund operational costs plus salaries and housing for the teachers. Click here for more info or donate now below.
