Cara Adelante is organized as a Mexican civil association committed to the development of women\u2019s education in Michoac\u00e1n.\u00a0 Education is a means to generate opportunities for young women to develop as individuals and realize the potential to become professionals with a sense of achievement and accomplishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cara Adelante AC formulated a model where it promotes the support of female high school students through scholarships that will cover food, housing and education expenses. In the beginning, the association will support the adolescents who belonged to Hogar Providencia De Don Vasco I.A.P., an institution that supported around 2,000 girls during 75 years of service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AC also extends its\nreach to young women in the region where poverty and difficult access to\nsecondary and higher education exist. Many times these young women decide to\nleave school even with above average cognitive skills. The potential to obtain\nacademic success and to become women generators of change is critical to their\ncommunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Mission<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Encourage support for secondary and higher education, to favor young women (adolescents) with few opportunities to achieve full inclusion in the educational and social field, from low-income families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Vision<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To be recognized as an association that believes in education as the main factor for social change, with firm convictions about the potential of women, increasing their opportunities for autonomous and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
