Help the kids to finish school

After-School Elementary Tutoring Program

Sixty percent of the Guatemalan population do not graduate from elementary school, and rural communities suffer from up to 70% illiteracy. Our After-School Elementary Tutoring Program helps children aged 5 to 11 to finish school.

Our tutoring center, in the village of Pasac in Nahuala, Solola, about 3½ hours from Guatemala City, serves 250 children. The center is open every weekday, and each student comes in twice weekly to work with tutors in their native language K'iche' and in Spanish. We plan to expand the tutoring program to the villages of Pacanal I and Pacanal II this year, adding an additional 300 students to the program.

Your donation will help us to acquire books, school supplies and pay for the tutors. Donate now or e-mail us at info@rootsandwingsintl.org.
