Lantern Hill's main objective is to break the cycle of poverty. We believe that education can offer more future opportunities. Located in a small agricultural community, many children drop out of school early to work and help the family survive. Lantern Hill assists the students and their families to prevent this from happening.
EDUCATION
Education is the foundation for making change, but children need nutrition to learn. Lantern Hill offers 3 meals a week while the children are at the community center.
FEEDING PROGRAM
Lantern Hill's programs are run by our Mexican Staff who work with the local community. We welcome groups, short-term & long-term volunteers to assist our staff, learn and share their unique gifts. We believe that long-term relationships and partnerships have the most impact.
