More information
Acceso International works with locally-based and Canadian affiliated organizations to provide financial support for marginalized children, youth and women so that they may study in their own country, within their own culture and in their own language. To this end, Acceso International provides bursary assistance for individuals attending pre-schools, primary schools, high schools and post-secondary level institutions. It also provides educational materials for pre-schools, day cares, schools, libraries, women’s centres, orphanages and homework centres. Acceso International's directing officers, members and volunteers engage in project management, awareness, research and fund-raising activities. The directing officers work in collaboration with locally-based organizations to determine project development, effectiveness and continuity. For bursary allocation at the secondary and post-secondary levels, individual recipients are selected based on the criteria of academic achievement, community involvement and financial need. The bursaries are designed to defray the costs of tuition, supplies, transportation and accommodation. Annual progress reports are filed for each student recipient to ensure accountability.
