Highlights

Asociacion Probeneficio de la Niñez is an organization dedicated to working with at-risk youth living in the rural zones of Carazo. Staff at Asociacion Probeneficion de la Niñez visit towns and villages in Carazo and speak to the parents and family members of particularly at-risk youth, encouraging them to visit the Asociacion Probeneficio de la Niñez. The main goal of this organization is to keep youth off the street and provide them with a life free of poverty, illiteracy, drugs, alcohol and prostitution. They aim to provide the tools and life skills each student requires to create a sustainable, stable income for themselves and their families.

The Asociacion Probeneficio de la Niñez has implemented a system for students who have not attended elementary school. This system consists of regular class schedules that run in the mornings or afternoons, depending on the student´s needs. Once they have graduated from elementary school, students can choose to do technical training in one of the following areas: carpentry, soldering, industrial painting, or sewing.

We would like our students to receive instruction in English as a second language.
