Origins.
In 1995, a group of young missionaries decided to get closer to the lives of boys and girls who live in the hills of the Province of Salta, North of Argentina far from urban centers. For them, this was a unique opportunity to study that was offered by the rural plurigrade schools. Attending these schools, would take many hours on a muleback or foot to reach.
Over the years, the Grano de Mostaza Foundation expanded its mission, promoting integration and social inclusion on equal terms through educational and social development programs.
