Through the PARAFINA Social Project, we donate 5% of our sales to school scholarships so that low-income children in the small suburb of Fátima, in Asunción, Paraguay, can have a better future. A project with which our founders had a historical personal connection and in which our PARAFINA team is constantly present, ensuring the good development of the students.
PARAFINA Social Project is based at the Jose Mª Bogarin LaSalle School in the Fátima neighborhood of Asunción, Paraguay. It is a school that opened 50 years ago to provide a better future for the children of an area of the Bañado Sur in Asunción. In 2022, there are 605 students enrolled from kindergarten to ninth grade (15-16 years old). The school's neighborhood is a low-income area with homes that are mostly unsupported and without title deeds. The families in the neighborhood, many of whom have migrated from the interior of the country, in addition to economic needs, face a lack of educational and health resources.
