Governors
Project
Hey K-Family!
This year's Governor's Project is Fundacion Pies Descalzos (Barefoot Foundation)!
What is it?
Fundacion Pies Descalzos (The Barefoot Foundation) is a non-profit organization founded by singer Shakira to bring quality education, meals, and support to children in the poorest areas of Columbia.
Donating will allow them to:
-
buy school supplies
-
feed children nutritious meals
-
provide counseling and mental health support,
-
build and improve schools in vulnerable communities
Why I Chose this project:
When choosing this project, I wanted something that truly reflected Key Club's values, while actively making a difference in the lives of youth around the world. Fundacion Pies Descalzos gives children in poverty not just a place to learn, but a place to feel safe, supported, and seen. As someone who is deeply grateful for the education I've had access to, I'm asking our district to support this effort in any way you can, whether through fundraising, sharing the cause, or simply learning more. Together, we can help expand access to education where it's needed most.
Every step marks a footprint
Education is a story that is not erased
