In Mexico, education is the key in ensuring that children will have an opportunity to gain employment.
However it is not amongst the priorities for families who must struggle with poverty; 7.9% (almost 9 million) of the population is illiterate and the state of Chiapas is among the least developed in Mexico with almost 77% of the population living below the poverty line.
The lack of education is one of the most significant contributing factors to poverty; there are virtually no opportunities for people without education in Mexico.
With daily minimum wages so low, individuals without the training or education beyond high school are unable to compete in an economy, where even the educated struggle with laborer-scale wages, unable to afford a minimum standard of living.
Mision Surf Mexico is working to help to begin breaking the cycle of poverty by teaching them the importance of education from a very young age. A Mision Surf Scholarship will pay cover all financial costs of a childs educational journey.
From as little as $10 a month you could help end the cycle of poverty.
