Abstract
This article seeks to show the role of returned emigrants as benefactors in education on this side of the ocean. A task that was not paid too much attention and which stands as one of the aspects that enabled the progress in teaching quality and the increase in literacy rates in Galicia at the end of the 19th century and up to the 1930s. The study focuses on the reasons that led economically successful emigrants to invest their assets in charity and has been carried out from a micro-historical viewpoint starting with the Lugo district of Ribadeo.
