PADRINAZGOS PROGRAM - sponsorship for secondary school students
1 in 4 young people from rural communities in Argentina have no access to secondary education level. The lack of schools, the distances and the limited financial means of these families, challenge the possibilities of eradicating the poverty and vulnerability in which they live.
The Padrinazgos Program offers the opportunity of making a difference in the lives of these young boys and girls.
