Santa Emilia has a Primary School that goes through the 6th grade. However, going to High School has been a challenge for young people in Santa Emilia.  There was no High School within the community. 

It’s called “BECA HOUSE”

'Beca' means 'scholarship' in Spanish. The "Beca House" is a house that was gifted to the community of Chacraseca, Nicaragua which they have chosen to use as a 'dorm' for young women from poor communities who are going to college on "becas" (scholarships).

It's a wonderful resource, that houses between 6 and 12 women each semester. But neither the community of Chacraseca nor the students who live in the Beca House can afford the maintenance work that must be done to keep it in livable condition, such as roofing, plumbing, electrical repairs. So every year, JustHope Partners work together to find donors and make repairs.

Together we make the Beca House a HOME!

JustHope partners provide scholarships to children, youth, and college students.

The cost of education per year is as follows:

Primary School: $40 year

Primary School (through 5th grade) is free in Nicaragua, but students need clothes and shoes to attend, plus their supplies. $40 a year provides one child with a uniform, shoes and socks, backpack, and a notebook and pencil.
