Project Details

Guatemala suffers from several challenges around its educational system, including poor funding, limited teacher training, and a lack of resources, especially in rural areas. Many children are forced to leave school since their families cannot afford the costs of education, leaving them illiterate and with limited future opportunities.

This project places you in a charity that helps to address these challenges by providing educational aid to underprivileged communities. By working alongside charity staff, you will gain valuable experience and insights into Guatemalan life and culture.

Throughout your stay, you will have the opportunity to engage in various projects, including teaching children, setting up educational workshops, and helping mothers create handicrafts. You will also have the chance to explore the local area and participate in optional excursions to nearby attractions.
