MayaWorks strives to assist students in achieving their academic potential by setting high standards and supporting them when they struggle to achieve their educational goals.
In 2015 96% of scholarship beneficiaries received a minimum C average; 58 % achieved a B average. No students dropped out of school and, all students who were on track for graduation the past year, did graduate with their class.
The girls enjoy coming to MayaWorks' tutoring centers to receive support in their subject areas and to work in the computer lab. Overall, students have a 85% attendance rate at our after school programming.
Scholarship students also benefit from a language exchange with American students. Young women from an all-girls school in California visit students of our Rosa Moya Center in Comalapa. Each group of girls practices their language skills and complete a project together.
Academic support and enrichment activities like the language exchange serve to keep girls motivated to stay in school and excel. Thank you to donors for helping us in our efforts.
