The impact comes from your gift being pooled with those of other donors, so that the Santa Luisa Elementary School in San Salvador, El Salvador, will have the needed funds to operate. The operating budget of Santa Luisa includes administrative salaries, school supplies, utilities, two meals a day for each child, medical/care/immunizations for each child, uniforms and textbooks. The annual operating budget of the Santa Luisa School is approximately $30,000 US Dollars. Sister Milagro, the principal of the Santa Luisa, is only able to raise $8,000 annually in revenue. The interest S.C.O.P.E. earns on its principal investments helps bridge this critical budget shortfall necessary to educate a targeted annual enrollment of 500 students. Sister Milagro seeks to collect $25 per student in tuition from their families. In reality, she is only able to collect less than $14 per student per year. Many families can not afford even this amount, and the nuns also do not turn down a family who wants to educate their children there.
