Acceso International

Acceso International

Acceso International was founded in 1996 by Dr. Christine Gervais, a young Canadian woman, who was inspired by her travels in Latin America and the Caribbean. Acutely aware of her own scholarship privileges, she initiated Acceso International to address the disparity between her educational opportunities and those of students in economically disadvantaged countries. She is now joined by over thirty volunteers who share her vision of educational equality. Together, they work to provide educational opportunities for socio-economically disadvantaged children, youth and women in Latin America, the Caribbean and in Canada.
