EDUCATION

At the Fara Foundation, we believe that education is a key foundation for opportunity and long-term community resilience. Nicaragua has one of the most underserved populations in the hemisphere when it comes to educational access and resources, and we are committed to supporting students at every stage of learning.

We oversee our own elementary school and provide financial and material support to partner schools in the region. We also help ensure that students have the supplies and encouragement they need to stay in school, learn well, and build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.

Expanding Impact Through Outreach

Fara Foundation’s education work goes beyond traditional classrooms. Through our outreach initiatives and missions, we strive to address obstacles that prevent children from learning and thriving. In January 2024, during our healthcare and community mission to Mayun, we distributed essential school supplies to children in need, helping ensure they had the tools to participate fully in their education. This outreach reflects our commitment to supporting both the health and educational well-being of the communities we serve — because a child’s physical well-being and educational opportunity are deeply connected. 

Our Ongoing Efforts

• Elementary Education
  We operate a private elementary school on our Fara Coffee finca and support other local schools with supplies, resources, and infrastructure as needs arise.

• School Partnerships
  We work alongside other committed nonprofits in the region to support thousands of students through financial support, teacher resources, meal programs, and learning materials.

• Scholarships and Guidance
  The Foundation also supports promising students who need financial assistance to continue their education, including high school and college opportunities. As part of this effort, we celebrate every milestone — from improved literacy and school attendance to graduations and continuing education.

• Integrated Outreach
  Our missions, such as the January 2024 outreach to Mayun, demonstrate how education and health intersect. By providing school supplies during community medical missions, we reinforce that education is a key part of overall well-being and opportunity. 

Why Education Matters to Us

Education is more than classroom instruction — it is a source of hope, empowerment, and community transformation. Many families in the Matagalpa region and beyond face barriers to schooling due to poverty, lack of supplies, and limited local resources. The Fara Foundation’s role is to support and strengthen the efforts already happening on the ground so that children not only stay in school but thrive there.

We are grateful to everyone who supports our education initiatives, from donors to volunteers to partner educators in Nicaragua. With your help, children are not only learning — they’re building a foundation for a brighter future.
