Our main project is to make education more accessible to the community. Secondary education in Guatemala is not public and free. All the costs have to be covered by the families, usually very poor. Our scholarships cover tuitions, transportation costs, books, utilities needed and school events. Therefore, a major part of our work consists in meeting families and in knowing their level of income. We can then adapt our assistance.

Another part of our work is to obtain a sufficient educational level so that the students can reach the secondary schools. We play a role of facilitator to the local teachers.

Public school only takes place the mornings. Through our Volunteer Programm we are able to offer a wide range of afternoon programmes to the local school children. They can choose between various activities ranging from crafting, playing educational games or reading classes to the usage of computers and the internet to research specific topics or help with the homework. In December 2017, we built our Knowledge & IT center which allows us to support students with the organization’s educational material, use of Internet for studying purposes and one-to-one sessions facilitating learning gaps.
