United Schools Foundation is a non profit organization working on bringing schools together to share resources needed in Nicaraguan schools. They are hoping to give the children in Nicaragua the same education that children in developed countries are provided. The United Schools Foundation has fundraisers, run school supplies drives, and sponsorship activities to help find resources for children in Nicaragua so they will be able to have more educational opportunities.
- The average Nicaraguan has 4.6 years of schooling and only 2.1 in extremely poor rural areas.
- 1 out of 10 Nicaraguans cannot read or write.
- Nearly 500,000 children, aged three to twelve, remain outside the formal education system.
- In Nicaragua, only 29% of children complete primary school.
- Many parents have to withdraw their children from school because of a lack of jobs and financial difficulties.
