Escuelitas |
“Escuelitas”
(little schools) are designed to reach and meet the needs
of children in highly impoverished communities. Our schools
are run and staffed by local personnel, providing jobs for
those in the community. We offer a unique and well-rounded
curriculum that has been developed by experts abroad and
in the USA. Special attention is given to each child's healthcare
issues, nutrition, and individual needs.
Casa
de Sara also provides outreach educational programs - such
as healthcare education - and summer school programs that
include dance, art, English and soccer to public schools
and communities in need of assistance.

|
Saritas
|
| The
“Sarita” program allows young women (late teens to
early 20's) to work in our schools as teacher's aids. Through
this opportunity the girls learn a trade, build their resumes,
and earn money for their own educations while attending high
school or college. The goal of the program is to get young women
interested in the teaching profession so that one day they will
become teachers themselves. |

Clinicas
|
|
Casa de
Sara provides periodic healthcare clinics and healthcare seminars
for children and adults. These clinics typically provide vision,
pediatric, gynecological, and dental care. It is Casa de Sara's
policy to use local doctors during these clinics; however,
Casa de Sara may bring doctors from the USA to work with local
doctors in special clinics from time to time. Casa de Sara
also provides medical supplies to select hospitals and partners
with them to bring better healthcare services to those in
need.
All of
the children (and families) in Casa de Sara Escuelitas also
receive regular healthcare services.
