UPLIFT A COMMUNITY
THEY HAVE DREAMS. YOU MAKE THEM POSSIBLE.

The Moro Moro Scholarship Fund provides deserving scholars from Moro Moro with full scholarships to attend nearby universities—opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise. Your generosity helps them learn, succeed, and give back to their families and communities.

HOW IT WORKS
- Each year, MMSF selects one or more high school students from the Moro Moro and surrounding community who demonstrate the most promise and financial need.
- With your support, MMSF awards full scholarships that cover tuition, food, and housing at a partner campus in Vallegrande and at Gabriel Rene Moreno University.
- MMSF supports the scholars throughout their academic journey, from their first day to graduation.
- In return, these promising students commit to earning valuable degrees and using their skills to uplift their community, Moro Moro, and their country, Bolivia.
Your generosity, in any amount, can transform an individual's life and an entire community. For about the cost of one course in the U.S., a Moro Moro Scholar can attend college for a year.
OUR STORIES
Your generosity has already launched 23 MMSF Scholars into careers like engineering, healthcare, and psychology, changing lives and communities. Many more are underway, supported by full scholarships from day one to graduation.
It all started with one man's vision—and a backhoe. Moro Moro native Daniel Valverde rallied his Pennsylvania community to build new roads for his village. That spark grew into providing necessities and, in 1997, into MMSF, transforming lives through education.
Dr. Aida Pardas, MMSF's first scholar and graduate, provided vital care at the Moro Moro Clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by supplies donated by MMSF. Her story shows how one scholarship builds meaningful careers and community.
