Yessenia (School Supplies Subsidy Program)

Yessenia is a single parent mother and has 2 children. Both of her daughters attend school in Limón 1 and benefit each year from our subsidized school supplies program.

Even though public school enrollment is free, there are many other expenses involved in a students’ education that make it very costly to parents, especially parents who have more than one child. To offset costs, FunLimón provides a 60% subsidy on student backpacks, uniforms, school shoes, notebooks, pencils, pens and other supplies.

The school supply subsidy allows Yessenia to send her kids to school with the materials and supplies needed to succeed.
