Team Building with a Twist: Thermo Fisher Gives Back to Playa del Carmen Community
Thermo Fisher Scientific, a global leader in serving science, recently demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility through a unique team-building event in Playa del Carmen. Instead of traditional corporate activities, the company chose to make a tangible impact on the local community by partnering with KKIS.
Empowering Students Through the Power of Pedals
The event saw Thermo Fisher employees roll up their sleeves and assemble 10 bicycles, which will be donated to KKIS scholarship students. This hands-on approach allowed the team to experience firsthand the positive impact their actions can have. By providing these bikes, Thermo Fisher is helping students overcome transportation barriers and access educational opportunities more readily.
KKIS is incredibly grateful for Thermo Fisher’s generous donation and their dedication to making a difference. Their support aligns perfectly with our mission to empower students in Playa del Carmen through education and scholarships. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and partnerships like this bring us one step closer to achieving that goal.

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.
Our success is driven by the generous support of individuals and corporations who share our values and vision.
