Casa de Sara provides
education and healthcare for Hispanic and Indigenous children in The
Americas.
Give a child
an education and you give him or her a future. Give a child a future
and you have changed the future of the world.
To establish
and manage new schools, provide supplemental educational programs,
create job opportunities for local staff, provide scholarships,
and conduct periodic healthcare clinics for students and their surrounding
communities.

"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.

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.

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.
