Since 1998, Acceso International has been sponsoring several post-secondary level students from the municipality of Chincha Alta who are studying in the areas of engineering, nutrition, education, languages, nursing and business at various post-secondary institutions in Lima. Fifteen students have benefited from partial or complete bursaries through this program. Our support defrays the costs of tuition, transportation, books, supplies and accommodations. Access to post-secondary education has been a significant opportunity for these students and their families. To date, ten of the students have graduated, all of whom have found meaningful employment in their fields. Acceso International is very proud of their dedication, responsibility and success!
In the aftermath of the earthquake that struck Peru on August 15, 2007, Acceso International is also supporting the reconstruction of primary schools in Chincha Alta.
