Uptown Cheapskate and Kid to Kid have partnered with buildOn to fund and build schools in rural communities in developing countries. In December 2016, buildOn completed a new school in Cuyuca Central, Nicaragua funded by your donations. Nicaragua has 6 million people with more than 29% of the population living below the poverty line and more than 16% unable to read and write. The students of Cuyuca Central previously learned in an old, rundown school building. With their new facilities, they are able to learn in a functional building equipped with desks, space for every student, and bathrooms.
These students are studying reading, writing, and mathematics in their new school. Girls will be able to study side-by-side with boys and participate equally. Through the donations we’ve collected at our Charity Fill-A-Bag Sales, you’ve helped break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and expectations for children like these. The students of Cuyuca Central thank you for your donations!
