Venezuela

In Venezuela, 34% of youth are not in school due to conditions of poverty. Venezuela is also currently suffering from a serious educational crisis where many teachers are not working and schools are only open two to three days a week. Salesian missionaries continue their work in the country despite volatile conditions. They aim to provide education, workforce development and social development services to poor youth and their families.
