Bikes, Bucks, and Big Hearts: Transformer Institute Makes a Major Impact on KKIS Students
Investing in education is an investment in the future. At KKIS, we’re dedicated to empowering students in Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya to reach their full potential. We were thrilled to partner with Transformer Institute, a company whose commitment to education goes above and beyond.
More Than Just a Donation: A Company Culture of Giving Back
Transformer Institute employees visiting Cancun for a group event didn’t just participate in team building activities – they made a lasting impact on our students. The company not only donated a generous $5,000 USD to KKIS but also provided a fleet of bicycles for our scholarship recipients. These bikes will be a game-changer for students, allowing them reliable transportation to attend school and extracurricular activities.
A Heartfelt Connection: From Immigrant to Philanthropist
The spirit of giving back was particularly meaningful for Fernando Miranda, Transformer Institute’s Vice President. A Mexican national who immigrated to Canada as a child, Fernando understands the importance of education firsthand. He expressed his joy at being able to contribute to the community that nurtured him during his formative years.
Building Bridges for a Brighter Future
KKIS extends its heartfelt gratitude to Transformer Institute for their incredible generosity. Their combined financial and in-kind donations will not only empower individual students but also send a powerful message about the importance of education and community investment.

Visión KKIS
Mejorar vidas mediante la educación.
KKIS (Keep Kids in School) trabaja para construir comunidades más fuertes en Playa del Carmen eliminando los obstáculos financieros a la educación pública. Creemos que todos los niños merecen la oportunidad de aprender y tener éxito, y nos dedicamos a hacer que la educación sea accesible y asequible para los estudiantes prometedores de nuestra comunidad.
Misión de KKIS
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.
Nuestros programas proporcionan ayuda financiera y ayudan a los estudiantes a desarrollar habilidades lingüísticas, vitales y laborales esenciales.
A través de una combinación de ayuda financiera, conexiones comunitarias y apoyo educativo, logramos una impresionante tasa de graduación de la escuela secundaria del 86%, en comparación con la media nacional de menos del 50% en todo México.
Nuestro éxito se debe al generoso apoyo de particulares y empresas que comparten nuestros valores y visión.
