Empowering the Future: Scholarships Transforms the Lives of 11 Children in Santa Cruz

Galapagos Conservancy will continue to show its commitment to quality education for residents of Galapagos in 2023. Galapagos Conservancy supports organizations in Galapagos with resources from the Galapagos Silversea Fund. These projects include education for sustainability, training, conservation, and science.

The fund will finance 11 children attending the Tomas de Berlanga Educational Unit. This private teaching center was founded in 1994. Dr. Paul Salaman (President of Galapagos Conservancy) and Washington Tapia (General Director of Galapagos Conservancy), signed the scholarship agreement together with Johanna Carrion, Executive Secretary of the Scalesia Foundation.

The scholarship recipients will have the chance to get the education and skills they need to succeed in their lives. They will also be able to access a high-quality educational program for free. This program provides critical thinking, bilingual education, as well as experiential learning in an atmosphere of respect, responsibility and solidarity.

Galapagos Conservancy believes that investing in education is an investment in the future and present of society as well as the planet. We will continue to support projects that improve learning, particularly with a sustainability focus. This will contribute to the well-being and care for this amazing natural heritage.
