Since 2004, Condor Trust has supported the education of low-income students in Ecuador. To date, we have assisted over 100 young people, by providing finance and a range of other support. Many have completed not only secondary education courses but also higher education courses and are now working in the healthcare, tourism, environmental and business sectors. Through their hard work they have broken the cycle of poverty in which their families were living.
Katherine obtained high grades in her primary school and very much likes going to school. When not studying, she enjoys painting and listening to music. She is learning the violin at the Condor Trust. At the moment, her ambition is to become a psychologist.
