Children from low-income families are likely to continue living in the same chronic poverty as previous generations. The self-sufficient school is a model in which both the institution and teaching are structured around producing and trading goods. Especially in areas where most people rely on agriculture to earn their livelihood, this model has proven to be very successful.

Fondacion Paraguaya has introduced this innovative approach to education in Paraguay and it is now taken as a role model for other schools in South America.
