Fundación Hotel Con Corazón
Project
Fundación Hotel con Corazón provides an Education and Motivation Program that serves 100 students from ages 8 through 20 years old. We provide much-needed academic tutoring and social service support to low-income students from underserved urban neighborhoods and indigenous rural villages throughout Granada city.
We offer a scholarship for motivated students who want to go to high school and university, combined with the motivational program, provided by Hotel con Corazón Granada.

Initiatives Supported
Listed on this page are the specific needs requested by the community project(s) so you can choose exactly what to pack for a purpose and express your gratitude to the local community with the supplies you take them. If you prefer, you may reach out directly to them to inquire about items which may be available for purchase locally. Arranging visits to community projects is beyond the scope of our mission. If you wish to visit a project, contact the participant and they can let you know what is possible.
Candy and balloons are not on the needs list as they are harmful for the children and the environment for the following reasons:
• Few of the children benefiting from these projects have access to toothpaste, toothbrushes, or a dentist. The candy promotes cavities.
• The balloons once they become deflated are a choking hazard for local wildlife.
Instead of taking candy or balloons, use that space for additional requested supplies, as they are priceless.
