Providing Educational Scholarships for Mexican Children since 1970, Los Niños de Chapala y Ajijic, A.C. (NCA) has supported the educational and nutritional needs of the Lakeside area’s underprivileged children for almost forty years. We provide tuition fees, school supplies and uniforms, a monthly supplement and, in some cases, accommodation and transportation assistance.

NCA currently has approximately 275 children and young adults in the program – from kindergarten to university. NCA Alumni include doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants and marine biologists and some just ordinary folks living a better life through having a better education.
