Maya Scholarship Program
Providing financial and medical assistance to allow children, especially girls from disadvantaged backgrounds, to receive the education they deserve.
Maya Scholarship Program provides financial and medical assistance to allow children, especially girls from disadvantaged backgrounds, to receive education in circumstances where otherwise their families could not afford to send them to school, and they may become vulnerable to child labour, begging or human trafficking.
The children involved in this program do have adult family members who care for them, but who simply cannot afford to educate them. It is our strong belief that where possible, it is better for children to stay in their villages with their families, and only in severe circumstances without alternative options should they be placed into a children's home.
With Maya Scholarship Program, we aim to give children access to education and medical help, while making it possible for families to stay together.
What the Program Provides
- All admission fees, uniforms, shoes, books and stationery in preparation for the new school year
- Tuition fees throughout the year
- Medical costs and emergency expenses
- Support to keep families together and children in their home communities
When you educate a girl, you educate the world.
