ABOUT US

SURI-PROYECTO-EDUCATIVO.jpg

Surí Educational Project breaks the poverty cycle and improves the human and socio-economic conditions of the women and families living in Pavas. Currently, Surí runs two centers.


The Job Training Center, with over 500 students, helps women develop the skills they need to improve their job opportunities or start small businesses.

The high school prepares young women to go to college, if they wish to do so, or to enter the professional world. All the students need and receive scholarships, full or partial. Visit our website for more information.


Change a life. Give a young woman the gift of a scholarship.

A donation of $600 provides a full scholarship for one year, including the costs of tuition, books, a uniform, and other supplies.
A donation of $300 covers the full tuition of one student for one year.
Donations of $20, $50 or $100 partially cover scholarships and supplies for students.
