Reducing Poverty in Latin America Through Education

Worldfund’s unique mission is to support high-quality and results-driven education in Latin America—the key to transforming lives and reducing poverty.

Worldfund achieves its mission through its investment in schools, after-school academic programs and teacher and principal training.

Latin American students perform well below their international peers, even those living in countries at similar economic levels. We are working to change this reality. Worldfund has reached 32,000 students over the past five years, and aims to reach 250,000 students over the next eight years.

Today in Latin America, more and more leaders are realizing that if they provide universal high-quality education that prepares people to take charge of their lives and contribute creatively to the nation, they are launching a real revolution.
