Glass School
Glass School

This project is aimed at young people (ages 11 to 18) living in extreme poverty in rural areas who would otherwise have no access to education. To provide the most comprehensive training possible,our students at the school receive a dual education.

They complete the three-year mandatory education program (called the basic cycle) while also receiving vocational trainingwhere they can choose between Glass Craftsmanship or Culinary Arts and Tourism.

This is followed by two years of high school education.

5 YEARS OF QUALITY EDUCATION

The Families of the students contribute what they can to the school.

Some students receive a 100% scholarship, others 95%, others 90%, and those who can contribute the most receive an 80% scholarship toward the total annual tuition cost.

We provide dual education so that students enter the workforce with a tradeincreasing their chances of finding a job more easily.

Many families often do not want (or cannot afford) to enroll their children in school because it means losing the income they could provide if they were working.
