Projects

Since 1996, ACCESO International has supported various projects ranging from preschool to post-secondary education in the following countries:

The Bahamas
Bolivia
Canada
Colombia
The Dominican Republic
El Salvador
Guatemala
Haïti
Honduras
Mexico
Nicaragua
Peru

ACCESO International selects and supports projects that provide opportunities for vulnerable populations including, among others, those facing racial discrimination, gender inequality, geographic dislocation. For example, in the Dominican Republic, many of our projects assist with the education of Haitian migrants and refugees, and in Guatemala, our projects are located in isolated and under-serviced mountainous regions among indigenous communities, while most of our projects in Honduras focus on educating and empowering girls and women.

The members of ACCESO International are very proud of the opportunities that our projects create for thousands of children, youth, women and men in Latin America, the Caribbean and Canada. We are inspired and motivated by the active efforts of the individuals and organizations with whom we collaborate and by the resulting positive outcomes.
