Latin America Social Innovation Challenge

The educational impacts of COVID-19 mean that teachers inside the classroom will need to work even harder to increase their students' learning outcomes. This will place a greater need for co-curricular support outside the classroom, increasing the demand for tutors and supplemental learning materials. Fortunately, there are tens of thousands of tutors in Latin America now assisting children outside the classroom through Compassion church partners. Now more than ever, tutors need better tools to help bridge the gaps caused by COVID-19.

About the Compassion Project

Baylor's strategic plan to expand the institution's impact as a Christian research university directly aligns with Compassion International's missional commitment to better understand the root causes that prevent children living in poverty from flourishing in the 25 countries where the organization operates and to engage the next generation of young people in releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name.
