GoalThe goal of this project is to improve academic success, promote health through nutrition, enhance self-esteem, and foster faith-based values and inclusion—especially among children with special needs.
SummaryThis project seeks to raise $82,784 per year over three years to provide 100 students with scholarships, uniforms, books, and hot meals.
DescriptionIn a very poor area of Tijuana, Mexico, many children—especially those with special needs or in single-parent or working-poor households—lack access to adequate education, proper nutrition, or even basic school supplies. Centro Pedagógico Didaque, a Baptist school, seeks to address this need holistically. This combined project provides full support for students—STEP tuition scholarships ($300 per child per year), books and uniforms ($200 per child per year), and daily hot meals ($300 per child per year)—so students are not only enrolled but equipped, fed, and nurtured in a Christ-centered environment. Children who receive good nutrition and access to education thrive emotionally, physically, and academically. Long-term, these students grow into confident, literate, compassionate adults who contribute positively to their families and society. In addition, parents and caregivers experience reduced financial stress and renewed hope as they witness their children thrive. Communities also benefit from the long-term impact of educated, healthy, faith-rooted young people.
Suggested GiftsA gift of $800 will support an entire scholarship (tuition, meals, books and uniform) for one student for one year. A gift of $1600 will support entire scholarships (tuition, meals, books and uniforms) for two students for one year. A gift of $5000 will support entire scholarships (tuition, meals, books and uniforms) for three students for one year.
Prayer RequestsPray for the teachers who will provide education to the children, that they will show them the love of Jesus. Pray that the students receive the resources and support they need in order to thrive in school and beyond. Pray for the families and caregivers, that they will experience hope and joy as they witness the spiritual growth and education of these children.
