Paraguay School Project

Year Began: 2005

Missionaries working in Paraguay began the Paraguay School Project in order to keep children off of the street while their parents are at work. Several schools are now included in the initiative and are supported by individuals and churches.

The New Horizons School, located in a suburb of Asunción, is the largest educational facility and will eventually include pre-school through the twelfth grade. The Mary Jo Phillips Day Care Center is also located in Asunción and is open to children ages two through five whose mothers are working. The Susannah Wesley School is located at the Quinta Linea Methodist Church in the “interior” of Paraguay and currently serves 100 children grades first through sixth. The nearest high school is nearly a three-hour walk, so most of the children do not continue their education past the sixth grade. Construction is underway to add more classrooms to expand the facility to include grades seven through twelve.
