Obtaining a university degree can have a significant positive impact on both Mexican families and their communities.

At KKIS, we believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Providing promising students scholarships you are enriching the life of someone who has faced adversity their entire life and now they have the opportunity to realize their dream of obtaining a university degree.

Not everyone has the opportunity to apply to a university. It comes down to paying for it. No bank loans, no government loans – the only way it to pay the bill in full.

Did you know that access to education can create more equitable societies? By donating to KKIS, you can help provide underprivileged students in Playa del Carmen with the educational resources they need to succeed. Join us in our mission to promote social mobility through education.

This can help to develop expertise within a community, potentially leading to new innovations and advancements.
