HELP OUR SCHOOLARSHIP PROGRAM KEEP STUDENTS IN SCHOOL

this is a TYPICAL STORY

 Public education is not free in Guatemala and many families cannot afford to send more than one child to school. As a result, in indigenous Guatemalan communities only 1 in 10 children ever reach high school.
María attends school at COPSA. Her parents, make about $7 a day.  She knows that education is her best chance for a better future. Now that future seems impossible.

But You Can Rewrite It.

What if, instead, students find the resources to stay in school? In Guatemala, a high school diploma opens a world of opportunities, especially for poor students like María, who often start their careers making four times more money than their parents. That money educates their siblings, and eventually, their children—creating a ripple effect that shatters the cycle of poverty.
