If you want to understand how American Jesuits International is defending the right to education for girls in Latin America, you need to meet the girls and young women whose lives have been impacted by our work.

Young girls like Johana, who wants to be a teacher when she grows up but unpaved roads, power outages, and constant flooding closes her school on a regular basis; Mothers like the woman I met in Ecuador, who shared how her school community became a place for her daughter to learn and feel welcome, regardless of her disabilities; Educators like Mariela, who is empowering young women to learn a new trade, like sewing and other textile skills, so they can find meaningful employment upon graduation. 

All of these stories reflect a commitment to empowering and uplifting young women and girls. That is the work I need your help to support!

Looking to join me and the American Jesuits International team in our ongoing work to support girls education in Latin America? Become a monthly donor and sustain our work today, tomorrow, and towards a brighter future. 

We are working toward meaningful changes on three levels where our partners operate: the international network level, the national “social center” level, and  the grass roots producer organization level. Inspired by this vision of scalable impact, we invite you to commit yourself to one of three giving levels. Each month, your donation will connect you to our ongoing work and sustain meaningful work throughout Latin America.
