Las Hermanas is a grassroots nonprofit based in Troncones that’s dedicated to opening doors for local students through education, mentorship and community support.

‍

Founded by a group of women with deep ties to Troncones and Majahua, the organization began with a simple goal: to ensure every local child, regardless of family resources, has the chance to pursue an education and build a brighter future.

‍

The initial effort to provide school transportation and supplies has grown into a comprehensive program supporting students from preschool through university.

‍

Today, Las Hermanas helps fund tuition and maintain school infrastructure, including bathrooms, electronics and air conditioning. The organization also provides technical equipment, internet access and scholarships to keep students on the path to higher education.

‍

Beyond students, Las Hermanas invests in teachers and bilingual education—offering courses from beginner to advanced levels.

‍

The organization also supports “La Biblioteca,” a community library, and a private classroom facility. Both serve as vibrant learning centers where children and families can study, connect and expand their horizons.

At its heart, Las Hermanas believes education transforms not only individual lives but entire communities. In a place where many students leave school early to work, the opportunity to graduate or attend university changes the trajectory of families for generations. By breaking down barriers to education, Las Hermanas fosters resilience, independence, and long-term opportunity.

‍

The name “Las Hermanas”, meaning “the sisters,” reflects the spirit of connection and solidarity that drives the organization. While founded by women, Las Hermanas has grown into a diverse network of supporters—locals, expats, and friends worldwide—who raise funds, host events like the annual gala, and mentor students.

‍

Through Education, Communities Become a Stable Place to Grow.

‍

The results are inspiring. Dozens of students who once faced limited options are now enrolled in high school, technical programs and universities, studying fields from teaching and nursing to engineering and law. These success stories inspire younger children to dream bigger and remind the community what’s possible when opportunity is within reach.

‍

Ultimately, Las Hermanas is about more than education. It’s about hope, possibility and the power of community coming together to change lives—one student and one dream at a time.
