KKIS Student story
Highlights
To me, education is all about
Evolution and development of society.
I feel inspired by
My friend Diana, because she is an intelligent, strong, and self-confident woman, which makes her sensible and quite logical at the same time.
Where would you go and why, if you could move anywhere in the world?
I would move to Colombia, because of the kindness and warmth of its people, in addition to its incredible natural wealth.
I admire
Adele because she is a strong and talented woman, successful even in an industry that puts beauty standards above talent and the essence of people.
I am most curious about
The different realities in the lives of people who live outside my social circle (different cities or countries).
What is the best advice you have ever received?
Take every opportunity that comes your way in life, even if you are afraid, venture into the unknown.

KKIS Vision
Improving lives through education.
KKIS (Keeping 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.
