About the school

The José Natividad Macías High School is a key educational space within its community, providing training and support to adolescents in an environment with multiple challenges. Family problems and the social environment directly affect the academic and personal performance of students.

Despite these difficulties, the school continues to be a place of development and growth, promoting life and learning skills.

Since 2017, the school has faced the challenge of being closed due to a legal process, which has impacted the education and well-being of its students.

Through community support, we seek to recover and improve this essential space for their integral formation.

Help students at Escuela Secundaria José Natividad Macías to understand that their community believes in them—and that the future is full of hope and opportunity.

Help give the children of Escuela Secundaria José Natividad Macías the future they deserve.

Meet the students

Esteban

“My name is Esteban.

I am 13 years old and I want to be an auto mechanic and have my own brand of cars. I like to spend time with my friends, play sports and be with my family.

I would like my community to have more recreational and learning spaces, and for my school to have more materials and a roof for the playground”

—Esteban, 14

Azul

“I’m Azul, I’m 13 years old.

I want to be a psychologist to help people.

I like to listen to my classmates and support them in whatever they need.

In my community there is a lot of violence and few opportunities, so I dream of more security and care services for my classmates.

I would like to see my school with more materials and sports equipment”:

—Azul, 13
