Chronology:

Social purpose: Provide quality education particularly in sectors that live in conditions of high vulnerability. through any type of educational activity, both formal and open-door, as well as personal, group and/or community human promotion activities that result from educational processes that affect the economic, social and cultural spheres.

In the school modality we cover secondary level, ensuring that this youth population in the age range of 12 to 15 years, has access to formal, free and quality education, in a decent and safe space, so that they can fully develop their academic skills, through a framework of ethical values ​​and cultivation of spiritual interiority and thereby favor the conditions for them to access a better future.

In open door education; We intervene through the 20 services that we offer within the social programs, to abolish educational lag, psychosocial risks and school dropouts of the majority child population, in the age range of 5 to 11 years, through this offer of free education open doors, we divided the intervention into four programs: Health, Physical Activation, Education and Innovation.

In addition, workshops and courses are also taught to learn trades and/or reinforce knowledge, which allow the development of tools, to carry out ventures and activities that help to improve their self-perception, their environment, generating better self-esteem and the possibility of acquiring economic income. Through these practices,

In this modality, we primarily serve women from the community, ages 18 to 70.

The first precedent was secondary education that, starting in 1972 and high school education in 1988, was offered in the afternoon section of the Jassá Institute, a school with the mission of offering the same educational quality with very low costs and students. scholarship recipients who were in a vulnerable situation and put their completion of these school levels at risk; In 2009, it was the last generation on the Jassá Institute campus, since the surrounding communities that this noble work benefited had changed and these activities no longer met the objective of serving the most disadvantaged in society, since that had favorably changed their context and improved their social situation.

In advance, a community of sisters moved to an area located on the outskirts of the city, where the lack of secondary schools was detected and with it the difficulty that primary school children had in being able to continue their studies. Thanks to many people, the building that today houses the work was built. The main problem we address is the dropout of adolescents in secondary education and the causes or psychosocial risks they face.

Current Impact:

Regarding the people served in social and health program activities, a population of around 477 people is served. Obtaining a total number of 2,905, as indirect beneficiaries considering that each person is made up of 5 members in their family.
