Girls Education Fund Inc.

In Mexico, barriers to girls' education are real: poverty, violence, early marriage, low expectations, and tradition. Boys' education often takes priority. Most girls don't leave school due to a lack of interest or intellect; they leave because of basic gender inequality.

They deserve better.

When girls receive the opportunities they deserve, everyone benefits. They are more likely to join the modern workforce and earn higher incomes, make decisions about their own lives, and contribute to their communities, families and the world.

And the world becomes a better place.

At Vallarta School for Girls, we are committed to providing a holistic education that empowers underprivileged young girls to achieve their dreams. We strive to offer comprehensive support, including education, books, uniforms, nutritious meals, top-quality teachers, essential after-school programs, and a safe environment.

Our mission is to create a nurturing and inclusive space where young girls can thrive. Currently, we can only accommodate 40 girls in our rented facility. It's time to expand and build a school that can welcome up to 100 girls, allowing us to include those on our waitlist.

We have successfully raised enough money to purchase a lot for building our school. Now, we need funds to start construction. The lot is located in a safe neighborhood, adjacent to the residential area of Fluvial.

The total cost is approximately $7,000,000 pesos, which will cover a two-story building with eight classrooms, a cafeteria, a library, and a gym. In addition to these facilities, we envision transforming the rooftop into a small restaurant. This restaurant will not only serve as a gathering place for our community but also generate income to sustain the operational costs of the school. Our goal is to create a model of sustainability where the revenue from the restaurant, alongside other initiatives, supports the educational needs and development of our students for years to come. By becoming a sustainable organization, we aim to ensure that the Vallarta School for Girls remains a pillar of opportunity and empowerment in our community.

To make this vision a reality, we're reaching out for help to raise our building fund, aiming for a target opening date of March 2025. We invite you to join our construction team and help us build dreams for our girls. We will continue to update our progress here, and you can also see more information on our website at girlsedfund.org

Support us at any level you can. Every dollar makes a difference.

Together, we can create a lasting legacy and a bright future for the young girls at Vallarta School for Girls.

We're a nonprofit organization in both the U.S. and Mexico - Girls Education Fund Inc. and Girls Education Fund AC
