Your Impact: Sponsored Children in La Cruz Reach Secondary School

"Fabretto supports us with our uniform, school supplies, shoes. Thanks to this support, my grandma was motivated to send me to school in Esteli. I'm really happy here, and our teacher is great with us."  - Ana

In the La Cruz trash dump, education is a way for children to escape a lifetime of scavenging for recyclables. In partnership with the nonprofit buildOn, Fabretto built the La Cruz school in 2011. Today, children have the opportunity to choose education over working in the trash dump.

This year, four students--Ana, Heiling, Lester, and Darling--became the first children from their community to go from 6th grade in La Cruz to full time secondary school in Esteli. Their story is a testament to the hope that sponsors bring to children in need.

Each day, the four students walk over an hour to reach the nearest secondary school in Esteli. At first, their parents were nervous about sending them, and the children feared rejection from their peers. Fabretto and their teacher, Cristina, have helped them overcome these challenges and continue their education. One student, Lester, reflected on his experience, "I feel good - I've been accepted at school like any other kid. My favorite class is English because someday I want to learn to communicate with people from other countries."

Their sponsors have been a constant source of support and motivation to overcome the challenges of life in the trash dump. With Child Sponsorship, education brings hope to children in La Cruz.
