Empower a Girl in Guatemala: Education after COVID

If we could describe in one word what 2020 has meant for the Scholarships Program, it would be Solidarity, a simple word, but one that transforms thoughts and feelings. Because it made our young scholarship recipients not feel alone in the midst of this health crisis.

Many people need a little support to dare more, to fight for their dreams and to reach their goals. This is the case of the scholarship students, who managed to complete their high school.

Thanks to you, we were able to make the year 2020 a reality of service and solidarity, and we are sure that what has been built in the life of each of the young women is a clear example of improving the quality of life. They have the capacity to see and feel the needs of others, and their generosity in giving a relevant response, they also manifest their solidarity in the daily life.

Having demonstrated ingenuity, creativity, teamwork, and commitment in implementing service actions with their family, their classmates, and their community, the young women are convinced that all these actions are part of their “life project”, that acting well and responsibly will open the doors for them to continue their professional and personal formation. 

With your support, we will continue our struggle to be better people every day, and to promote opportunities for personal and professional growth in each of the young women with scholarships, and to contribute so that the families have their own growth in communication, honesty and love.

This would have not been possible without the economic support of more than 150 people, whose kindness and altruism will always be appreciated by the girls. Thank you so much for believing in this transformative project.
