Joining Forces for Education

For the second year in a row, KKIS and Kelly Education (part of Kelly Services) teamed up for education in Playa del Carmen.

This year, they decided to give the gift of mobility to a group of our scholarship students. It’s a great way to make a difference, and it shows how much Kelly Education cares about education and community.

The Kelly Education team didn’t just send bikes; they got right in there! They had a fun group activity where they actually built the bikes themselves. Each team got to know the student who would receive their bike. It was a neat way for them to connect and be part of something special.

Later that day, the big moment! The eight students got their new bikes. You should have seen their faces! These bikes mean getting to school easier, and opening up other possibilities too.

Big thanks to Kelly Education and Kelly Services for their generosity and for caring about our students in Playa del Carmen. They’re not just giving bikes; they’re helping these students pedal towards brighter futures!

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

KKIS provides programming that improves graduation rates for promising students and prepares them for life success by offering financial aid, community connections, and educational support. In addition to academics, KKIS helps students develop essential language, life, and work skills to build a stronger community.

Recognizing that education is often unaffordable for many families in Mexico, we remove financial barriers to keep kids in school through generous donations from individuals and companies who share our values and vision.
