The Superkids Foundation

Founded in 2016, The Superkids Foundation has an innovative solution to improving education in Latin America.  They mobilize children as agents of change; parents who haven’t studied beyond third grade struggle to keep up with the new economy and don’t have the time or skills to help kids out, but 4^th-6^th grade children do.  “Kid Teachers” has been volunteering their time teaching younger kids to learn to read.  This year, The Superkids Foundation has 80+ Kid Teachers in Paraguay signed up for its three-week incubator program at the local teacher’s college.  Matched with mentors, Kid Teachers learn not only to teach literacy but to confront their fears and empower others.  After the training program, the Kid Teachers will work with local elementary schools to tutor younger students.  The goal is to reach 5000+ hours of literacy instruction for 2019.  The AllPeopleBeHappy foundation has awarded a $10,000 Project Grant to support the salaries of their seven staff members (two directors and five facilitators).   (www.superkidsfoundation.org)
