| The institution |
The Banneux School provides formal education to 500 children and adolescents aged 4-14. The aim of the school is for these children to have access to a good education based on values. Since 2006, the institution has performed a high school support program involving about 90 teenagers.
The Banneux School is in a district populated by those who can't afford to live close to the center of town or have recently migrated from the countryside, installing themselves in temporary shelters. The high degree of exclusion and marginalization is closely related to the severe levels of insecurity and violence that prevail in this district of Montevideo. The students come largely from single-parent families, something that influences their behavior and school performance. The institution adopts a comprehensive approach to each student, providing education and food, but also assistance, containment and support to develop fully. |

| The project |
| A high percentage of children who attend the Banneux School have speech disorders as a result of growing up in an unfavorable social and communicative environment. In 2011, Reaching U decided to support the project Communication as a means to stimulate learning, which seeks to turn this situation around. During 2011, 20 children between 5 and 7 years took part in the project for language stimulation at a rehabilitation clinic located near the school. |
