Summary

This scholarship program is dedicated to empowering low-income individuals through English language education. It provides opportunities for aspiring students and women who are heads of households to learn English, with the goal of securing better employment opportunities in call centers and other industries. Proficiency in English is a critical skill in today’s global job market, especially for those seeking employment in call centers; these companies offer competitive salaries and benefits for their employees. By providing scholarships, we are bridging the gap for many talented and deserving individuals who lack the financial resources to afford these educational opportunities. This is Jennifer Vale, our first new student for classes that begin on Sept. 16. 2024.

Challenge

Many students and women who are heads of households do not have access to adequate English education in El Salvador. Many of these young individuals are eager to continue their education. The same is true of women who are heads of households and the primary breadwinners for their families. Neither group has access to a professional English course and are unable to qualify for work in Call Centers and other industries. Without access to this education, they continue to take menial jobs and the situation keeps them in poverty without the ability to improve their lives.

Solution

Our program targets two groups: of young people and women heads of households who are eager to improve their job prospects. By mastering English, they will have access to a wider range of educational and professional opportunities, both locally and internationally.

By providing them with necessary language skills, we can help them secure stable and better-paying jobs, thereby improving their families’ economic stability and overall well-being. We will offer high-quality English language training through experienced instructors and well-structured courses tailored to the specific needs of our participants.. They may even continue higher education for this one year program.
