An essential school in the heart of an isolated area

In Argentina, in a semi-rural area near Buenos Aires, the Daughters of Charity run the María Teresa school. Surrounded by farmland and livestock, and far from public schools, this school plays a fundamental role in the local community: it welcomes nearly 800 children and young people, from nursery school to secondary school.

Most families in the region live off small agricultural jobs and local trade; their incomes are very modest. For the children and their families, the María Teresa school offers a real chance for a better future.

When learning without modern tools becomes an injustice

The school has no technological equipment: no screens, no video projectors, no modern teaching aids, no digital means of discovering the world beyond their immediate environment...
The 85 teachers do their best with passion and commitment, but without the right tools, their possibilities are limited. 

‘While other pupils elsewhere are growing up surrounded by new technologies, María Teresa's pupils remain isolated. We must adapt to technological progress.’ Sr Claudia

This educational gap is not simply a lack of equipment: it is an inequality that limits opportunities, undermines confidence and closes doors from an early age. Without access to digital and audiovisual tools, pupils find it more difficult to assimilate modern educational content and, above all, are less prepared for higher education and the world of work.

But the school cannot finance this essential equipment on its own.
‘The school's financial situation prevents us from purchasing this type of equipment, as all of the school's resources are used for daily operations and maintenance.’ Sr Claudia

The project: Connecting the school as a gateway to the future

The simple and essential objective is to equip the school with digital and audiovisual equipment: retractable screens and projectors, with sound bars and connected notebooks. The school will thus be able to create a modern learning space to: 
- provide teachers and pupils with modern audiovisual equipment
- improve the quality of lessons and understanding of learning
- offer disadvantaged children the same opportunities as their more privileged peers.

This project will directly benefit 770 pupils and 85 teachers and will have a lasting impact on the entire local community. 

‘Helping our school means enabling our disadvantaged pupils to fully enter the world of today and tomorrow, and opening up a better future for them.’ Sr Claudia

With them, thanks to you

If the project is funded beyond its target, the surplus donations received will be allocated to a similar project.
