ABSTRACT
Fey Alegria, FYA, is a non-governmental organization that originated in Venezuela in 1955, the product of a private initiative to increase the educational coverage of the least advantaged groups in society. With the participation of the local community, the aid of private groups, and on the basis of agreements with the respective governments, FY A has been able to grow rapidly and with greater force after 1972, transforming itself into a viable educational alternative for the children in underprivileged sectors.
