In 2000 Children of the Dump was formed and took on the project of raising money to build the School of Champions to help the children working in the dump find a better life. To date Children of the Dump has transfer over $530,000 US dollars to build and operate the School of Champions and the feeding programs. The dump is now closed and the children no longer work in the dump. Children of the Dump is now looking at a program to help the children in the dump community, whose parents now work in the transfer station, get through high school. In a recent meeting an official of the school assured us that additional students from the dump community would be admitted to the School of Champions, this meeting took place after our census discovered that only a few students at the school were from the dump community. We can now Report that all but a few of the dump community children are now attending the School of Champions, based on a report from the Dump Community Civil Association undertaken at our request and released to us on December 30, 2010. When you donate to Children of the Dump using the PayPal buttons on our website the money goes directly to our PayPal account and is allocated to our programs by the donation procedures on our website.
The School of Champions offers an after school program 200 students in grades 3 through 6 from local schools. The programs include English, Math and Computers.
