KKIS Student story
Highlights
My favorite word is
The word "Moi" may not have a meaning as such but it is a nickname that he has had with my boyfriend since we started our relationship 4 years ago and that is also what my first hamster was called, without a doubt it is a very special word for me .
I am most curious about:
The sea, because I am afraid of the sea and also of whales, but of course I enjoy going to the beach and I would love to know what lies beyond in the depths, although perhaps the answer scares me, it would be great to know
I admire
Princess Diana, she was a very kind woman with everyone, a very simple and humble woman and I think she is a great role model.
My favorite food is
Tacos al pastor
My favorite artist(s) are
I like those that are about love, comedy, drama, Disney movies, and Spanish series.
I feel inspired by
My grandmother: I grew up with her, and whenever I talk to her, she has something to tell me. She is the person who has shown me the most support throughout my work and study process, and I consider her my safe place.

KKIS Vision
Improving lives through 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.
