As of this morning, two new students are online from our Paraguayan partner, Fundacion Paraguaya! Gerardo is attending Servicio Nacional de Promoción Profesional, a vocational school headquartered in downtown Asuncion, for a year-long course to become an automotive mechanic. Natalia is attending a short 2-month course to become a bank teller, which is considered to be quite the respectable position in Paraguay at a private bank. Despite how short the course is, Natalia could make up to $300-400 per month when she graduates.
Our microfinance partners are working as fast as they can to bring on new students and, in turn, we’re working as fast as we can to bring on new partners. When we first launched a couple weeks ago, our first 3 students and initial $2140 in loans were completed in less than 33 hours. We — and our students — are truly humbled by you all and your support.
As always, if you have any questions, no matter how big or small, please email us at questions@vittana.org.
