Our Education Initiatives

Our education initiatives enable a profound change so individuals can move beyond mere survival towards thriving as productive adults. By providing valuable support and opportunities, bright and motivated students can overcome the barriers of poverty. Education provides a pathway that significantly changes lives, transforming families and entire communities.

We award scholarships for junior high, high school, and college students ensuring they have the resources they need to reach their full potential.

The lack of education permeates through generations. Parents are unable to help their children with homework because they have only a primary school education. To assist at-risk children and to keep kids in school, students attending our after-school program receive a nutritious lunch, homework assistance, math support, technology training and English classes. When necessary, students and families receive therapy to improve their emotional health and assistance with medical or dental care.

Schools in Guatemala lack basic resources. To improve schools we provide access to the internet, computers, equipment and teachers’ salaries so the students can learn technology skills necessary for them to advance to higher grades and employment.

Through these efforts and with your support, children and young adults can succeed in school and turn knowledge and skills into a brighter future.
