At an early age, Keylin had to make a life-changing decision – since her family did not have enough money to pay for her to go to school, she could go to live in an orphanage where she would get the possibility to attend a school or stay home with her family with her loving mother and siblings.
What would you have chosen?
She left her family and went to live in the orphanage. As her mother could not afford visits to the orphanage, communication with her family was limited and much time was spent working around the orphanage.
Keylin is a hard worker and she managed to finish school, but then she had to face the harsh reality that it is almost impossible to get a job without a college education, which she could not afford. Luckily, she got an opportunity to study at LMI Honduras where girls receive higher education, including learning English, and afterwards they are able to change the lives of their families, communities, and the nation as a whole.
From LMI graduates, over 20% have started their own businesses whilst others work at global non-profit organizations or are pursuing further education.
