At ALSI, we support three educational enterprises:

Instituto Técnico Jesús Obrero (Parroquia Catia and 23 de Enero)

Jesús Obrero is a technological institution that belongs to the Jesuits. It opened its doors in 1948 as a small school in the neighborhood of Los Flores de Catia in Caracas, Venezuela. In 1967 it started a vocational technology high school, the first of its kind in the whole country, in the area of electronics. In 1970 a new vocational specialization is added in the area of computers, once again the first of its kind in Venezuela. Since that time, the Jesús Obrero has been recognized for its high-quality education in the field of technology; its alumni are a living testimony of the top level of education imparted at the institute, not only in the area of technology and job preparation, but as citizens and active members of their community. ALSI is proud to help support 205 students and teachers through the “Securing the Nutrition” plan being carried at the institution.

According to Caritas, levels of extreme malnutrition affect a little more than 30% of Venezuela’s children. This will translate into a lag in the cognitive and productive areas in the next 10 years
