MIAMI, March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tekmovil today announced a significant expansion of the company's partnership with Brighter Children Organization, a non-profit that supports educational initiatives for elementary-school-aged children living in some of the world's most impoverished countries. The announcement comes during both International Women's Day and Women's History Month, a relevant time for corporations to focus on diversity, gender equality, and fostering the overall support of women.

Tekmovil's partnership with the organization began in November 2020 with a commitment to sponsoring a group of 20 school-aged girls in Santa Maria, Colombia at a Brighter Children partner school, Oasis of Hope. The donation included full school tuition for the 20 girls with 100% of the proceeds going to the school resources and efficiencies, including lunch, medical, transportation to and from the school, as well as teachers' salaries.

This year's donation expansion includes a new partnership with a Brighter Children partner school in Honduras, called Students Helping Honduras, sponsoring an additional 20 student tuitions, and in Colombia by covering the full cost increase in the sponsored students' yearly tuition rate due to inflation and an increase in living costs and school supplies.

"We know the impact a good education has in breaking barriers for children in impoverished areas, and with that in mind, we wanted to extend our partnership with Brighter Children," said Claudia Rodríguez, COO of Tekmovil. "Our hope with this partnership is that we not only give these children the opportunity to continue learning but also open the doors of possibility for them."

The sponsorship in Honduras acknowledges the region's staggering poverty rate (66%), currently the most unequal country in Latin America. Only 2% of the wealthiest students in Honduras get to attend a private bilingual school. As a result, very few people speak English in Honduras. Students Helping Honduras promises that 100% of their students will be fluent in English when they graduate.

"Through our continued support along with other sponsors, Brighter Children can continue to change lives," said Ms. Rodríguez. "We believe the best way to stop the cycle of poverty is to support children in their education. Developing future leaders through educational skills will allow them to overcome barriers and turn dreams into reality."
