Joining Forces for Education
Making a Difference in the Riviera Maya!
At KKIS we are always looking to partner with socially responsible organizations like Kelly Services, a leading provider of substitute teachers in 40 US states, to create impactful experiences that empower local students.
Kelly Services Takes Action:
Kelly Services recently joined us for a unique team-building experience that combined fun and social responsibility. Their leadership retreat participants honed their collaboration skills by building a mini-golf course using everyday materials.
Beyond Teamwork: Making a Difference for Students
Following their creative challenge, the Kelly Services team transitioned to a meaningful act of service. They packed essential school supplies for hundreds of students in public schools, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed in the classroom.

KISS PROJECT
Testimonials
We spent half a day here with KKIS rather than be in a meeting somewhere because we wanted to give back to the community and we wanted to work together as a team in support of a great cause
Due to family finances KKIS granted Elena a university scholarship to continue her education. “Without the help of a generous sponsor, I wouldn’t be in college studying right now. This opportunity was given to me and I intend to help others with my degree as a lawyer”
I have to say today was a learning experience for me and I’m really inspired by all the colleagues that serve in the KKIS Project and I really encourage everybody go and to learn further about the project and how you can contribute to such an amazing cause
KKIS Vision
Improving lives through education.
KKIS (Keep Kids in School) works to build stronger communities in Playa del Carmen by eliminating financial obstacles to public education. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn and succeed, and we are dedicated to making education accessible and affordable for promising students in our community.
KKIS Mission
At KKIS (Keeping Kids in School), we believe that education reduces poverty, improves lives, and builds stronger communities. Recognizing that education is often unaffordable for many families in Mexico, we remove financial barriers to keep kids in school.
Our programs provide financial assistance and help students develop essential language, life, and work skills
Through a combination of financial aid, community connections, and educational support, we achieve an impressive 86% high school graduation rate, compared to the national average of less than 50% throughout Mexico.
Our success is driven by the generous support of individuals and corporations who share our values and vision.
