Mission Statement
Casa de Sara provides education and healthcare for Hispanic and Indigenous children in The Americas.

Vision Statement
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.

Objective
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.

Casa de Sara Programs



"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.
