education

A quality education can be the key to lifting a child or family from a circle of poverty. An education can provide skills, opportunities, advancement and hope.

Austin Samaritans partners with several educational institutions at all levels to reach those most in need.

Child Sponsorship

You can impact a child's life and future, opening doors of opportunity and hope by sponsoring a child's education. For just dollars a day, another disadvantaged child can be offered the opportunities to education and advancement that we take for granted in our society.

Sponsorship programs are available through Austin Samaritans in support of Colegio Cristiano Presbiteriano.

Your Sponsorship Helps

Austin Samaritans has a list of children waiting for sponsors. Help us reach those in need by sponsoring a child today. Contact Austin Samaritans today and we will be more than happy to assist you in any way we can.

In August of 2010, Austin Samaritans visited Colegio Cristiano Presbiteriano school classrooms in the Barrio Hialeah de Managua, and toured the school's expansion site.

We also met with representatives from Fundación Ortiz Gurdian who maintain the cancer registry (CANREG 5) for Nicaragua. Many of the chemotherapy medicines and supplies on hand were given to the cancer center by Austin Samaritans' generous donations.
