One of the most serious problems confronting public schools in Mexico is the lack of basic supplies for classrooms. Blackboards, desks, maps, lights, and window glass are often lacking in rural schools, especially those that serve Native American communities. These schools frequently have no access to even the most basic microscope, and no access to computer resources. These schools are often located in rural communities which are growing exponentially and yet have the highest drop-out rates, even at the elementary school level. These rural schools most often serve the lowest income children in Mexico. Contributions are needed in order to provide for basic materials which remain unfunded by the public system. See brochure.
