Puerto Rico

The project Juventud Adelante, an initiative of Hogares Teresa Toda offers 25 girls the motivation and support needed to finish their studies and, in the future, to take charge of their lives.

The children living at the Casa de Niños Manuel Fernández Juncos have been abandoned or abused by their families. These children are today given the chance to form part of a much safer academic environment thanks to scholarships to study in private schools where they can improve their academic prowess and gain social skills at the same time.

This is a scholarship program designed to help abused girls living at the Hogar de niñas de Cupey access a top-quality education.

The Asociación Servicios Sociales Episcopales cares for 14 minors who have been victims of physical, mental or emotional violence in their family environment, at the “Hogar Albergue San Miguel”, located in the town of Ponce, in Puerto Rico.

Through the “Scholarship for the Comprehensive Education and Development of Abused Girls Program”, the girls attend classes in different private schools in the city of San Juan.

This initiative helps disadvantaged children and young people in their studies by offering them the opportunity to attend private schools, where they can improve their academic performance.

The goal of this project is to offer these children comprehensive education in order to prevent them from dropping out of school and all of the negative consequences that go with it.
