This December we are hoping to raise $5,000 to continue supporting education in the remote indigenous community of Piñan, Ecuador.
Indigenous communities like Piñan are the least likely to have access
to education beyond elementary school.
This is especially true for girls.
As a result of Community Ascent fundraising the youth of Piñan now have access to a high school education and some of the first graduates are attending post secondary institutions! This will impact the entire community by providing financial stability, and by motivating the next generation.
Next year, with your support, Veronica will be the community's first ever university graduate. Veronica is in her 2nd year of Agricultural Sciences, specializing in livestock care. After graduation she plans to help Indigenous families throughout her region to care for their livestock and improve production of dairy products. This will contribute to sustainable incomes in Piñan and other Indigenous communities.
Please consider a donation for Veronica and other students in her community. All funds raised will go directly to Project Piñan to support high school programs and further education opportunities for the youth of this community.
Community Ascent Network is a Registered Canadian charity.
All donations are tax deductible.
Become a Sponsor To Help a Student Graduate!
In the last 5 years, your support has helped us to build a high school, create jobs for local teachers and gives dozens of students access to an education.
This year's fundraiser is especially important!
Six Students from Piñán are now attending university and nursing programs, which will empower them to earn a living income, to create jobs in their village and to change the lives of their families. This could make a lasting impact on their whole community.
But we need your help so that these students can keep attending their programs!
By becoming a sponsor, you will help a family and student in extreme poverty to gain a life-changing opportunity.
WE SUPPORT COMMUNITY-DRIVEN PROJECTS
The Community Ascent Network works with the Indigenous community of Piñán, located in the Northern Andes of Ecuador.
We provide the community and its students with the resources to have access to secondary and post-secondary education. All of our projects have been community-oriented and directed since their start.
It is our mission to support the advancement of accessible education at the local level.
We believe each community knows their own way forward and the Community Ascent Network's role is to provide them the support and funding to help them get there.
Since 2018 The Community Ascent Network Has been working closely with the community of Piñán in Northern Ecuador and this continues to be our focus. For Piñán their vision is to have access to public education for all of their youth so they can start to bring meaningful work and developments into the community.
