At Perseverancia, we are building stronger schools to create brighter futures in El Salvador. This work is locally led, in partnership with community members, teachers, and leaders who are driving the vision forward every day.

Right now, Liceo Juan Calvino, a small school in Soyapango serving low-income families, only provides education through 6th grade. After this point, many students transfer into overcrowded public schools that lack the resources and safety needed to support them. With your help, we can expand the school by building 7th–9th grade classrooms and ensuring students can continue learning in a safe and supportive environment.

We have already raised over $50,000 toward this initiative, thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters. Our previous GoFundMe campaign reflects $16,000 of that progress, which you can view here: https://gofund.me/11e4a72b. As we continue growing, we’ve moved our fundraising to Givebutter to create a more sustainable path forward. Every donation brings us closer to building these classrooms and expanding opportunity.

If you are not in a position to give right now, you can still be part of this. Join the community for $1 to stay connected, or email info@perseveranciasv.org to receive updates as the project moves forward.
