Boys and girls in rural El Salvador face many challenges on the path to graduation. For a family struggling to put food on the table, work in the fields often comes before equations and books. Students quickly fall behind in school when family obligations drain their time and energy. CESTA is working with teachers to bring bikes to their students to commute to school. Working with younger children, they hope to break the cycle of dropouts and increase the number of graduates throughout the country.
