Training Tutors to Transform Education in Guatemala

November 7, 2025

In the rural schools of San Martín, many children face a challenge that often goes unseen but deeply affects their future — difficulty in learning to read and write.

More than 90% of students who struggle academically have difficulties specifically related to communication and language, impacting their ability to keep up with classmates and putting their promotion to the next grade at risk.

But change is on the horizon.

Transforming Communities from Within

November 7, 2025

In the rural communities of San Antonio Huista and Unión Cantinil, Guatemala, many families live day by day without the tools to plan for the future. Saving is not common—not because people are unwilling, but because they have never been taught how. Dreams of starting a business, improving a home, or investing in a child’s education often remain out of reach. Children, youth, adults, and elders alike face the reality of limited financial stability and few opportunities to imagine a different path forward.

Deep in the mountains of the municipality of Unión Cantinil, Guatemala, in communities like Las Lomas and Villa Linda, more than just classes are being lost. At stake is the dignity of childhood, struggling to learn under conditions no one should accept as normal.

Children arrive at school hungry and tired. Parents, though giving their all, often cannot help with homework because they themselves had limited educational opportunities. Overcrowded classrooms, too few teachers, and a system that struggles to respond make learning an uphill battle.
