Located in Puerto Carreño, the capital city of the department of Vichada, in eastern Colombia; Lazarillo de Tormes Educational Center has a large number of indigenous, mixed-race and migrant populations as a border city with Venezuela. All this population is characterized by having low economic resources, which does not allow them to access a quality education. Public education is the only option, but unfortunately is not enough to serve the entire child population that has been increasing; bringing as a consequence the overcrowding of classrooms and, therefore, negatively affecting the quality of the education provided.
“We dream of seeing more low-income students participating in a comprehensive and quality education, who can feel the happiness that only comes from learning, this will allow our Lazarillo de Tormes family to grow and thus achieve sustainability over time; we seek to support the most vulnerable children in our region to learn and prepare for the future by being useful and happy in society.
