Scholarships for poor children

100 young boys and girls were benefited with scholarships during 2021, including free monthly medical consultation, packs of supplies, school uniforms and dental care

Education has been affected by the Covid-19 situation since it began in the first months of 2020 extending to 2021, so many families were affected and this aggravated the situation to the point of suspending the education of their sons and daughters. As for as the new modalities of receiving classes, rural areas do not have internet or suitable electronic devices in order to receive classes. It is there that Paz y Bien has managed to continue for 14 years uninterrupted by supporting them with school supplies, medical assistance, provision of food bags and, for some young people, with computers or tablets.
