Uptown Cheapskate and Kid to Kid have partnered with buildOn to fund and build schools in rural communities in developing countries. In 2018, buildOn completed a new school in La Empresa, Nicaragua funded by your donations. Nicaragua has 6 million people with more than 29% of the population living below the poverty line and more than 16% unable to read and write. The village of La Empresa is a community of approximately 1,500 people with 435 young students. The students of La Empresa previously learned in four overcrowded classrooms. With their new facilities, they are able to learn in a functional building equipped with desks, space for every student, and bathrooms.
