OUR PHILOSOPHY


Quality education is the engine that drives social change. Providing quality education in rural communities is an enormous challenge but it also holds immense promise.


Our mission is to provide quality education for children and continuing technical and vocational education and personal growth opportunities for young people and adults. Quality education fosters the development of socially and ecologically aware, well-rounded individuals that have the necessary self-esteem and values to contribute to the growth of their families and the communities in which they live and work.

Our integrated approach to education, healthcare, and development includes:

• Investing in programs for early learning and social development. These programs are essential to ensuring that young children have the best start in life.
• Strengthening the capacities of families and other caregivers because most care in developing countries occurs in the home and education doesn’t stop when children leave school.
• Coordinating maternal health interventions, pediatric care, nutrition, and general medical attention to improve the health and wellbeing of pregnant and nursing women, children, and whole families.
• Mobilizing community demand for the skills, knowledge and services essential to ensuring their children have the best start in life and for the betterment of families and the community as a whole.

The children and adults that graduate from Sierraflor programs are lifelong learners and active participants in their local communities as well as the global community. They are critical thinkers, creative problem solvers and decision makers, and effective communicators that are aware of their environment and passionate about the betterment of society.
