Educara Sumé is located in Brazil’s rural North-East. The non-profit organization of public interest takes care of the education of underprivileged young people in the town of Sumé. Sumé is located in the state of Paraíba, some 140km away from the regional pole of Campina Grande. Most of its 18.000 habitants live below the poverty line.
Currently, about 100 students participate and seize from the diverse and free services Educara offers to the local population.
Many parents cannot afford to offer a good school education to their children.
Public schools have often insufficient equipment and because of low salaries (~170 euros) he teachers go regularly on strike which can led to lesson cancellations for some weeks. Accordingly, it is not a surprise that only 1 % of the school leavers of public schools reach the expected education level to study at a university.
Educara helps families that live under the poverty line by scholarships for the children at a good private school. It was founded in 1999 by parents and teachers, has today 110 students.
Eucara also offers free homework assistance, private lessons and internet access to all students in Sumé.
