STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION

Take a moment to hear the story of Alexis.

  • In the 2023–2024 school year, a staggering 72,644 students dropped out of schools across Ecuador. This urgent issue—reported by Ecuador’s Ministry of Education—demands our immediate attention.

  • In rural areas especially, families often live on $1–2 per day, which forces children to work and leave school.

  • Nearly 25% of dropouts are due to lack of financial resources—for uniforms, school supplies, and transportation.

  • Up to 50–60% of school disengagement is tied to not learning foundational skills in reading and math, leading to discouragement.
