Empower a Girl in Guatemala: Education after COVID

Thanks to the support you provide to FUNDAP, during this month we have been able to provide accompaniment to each of the young scholars in activities that promote solidarity and service, which they carry out together with their parents, fostering the development of the community, such as: community service where they provide one day of their time for tree planting, garbage collection and classification, gardens in educational center, among others.

Another activity that they do is the accompaniment in academic subjects to the girls of elementary level, with the development of their tasks in investigations, resolution of mathematical problems and topics that help their learning. In addition, if one of them begins to be discouraged, they visit their home as a group and talk about the importance of education and the opportunities it will have in their future as they continue studying.

Such is the case of Lilian, who is visited by several girls in her community, looking for help in the morning to investigate or do homework. In addition, she likes to share with them and rehearses and teaches them how to play the flute.

Another activity that Lilian promotes with the support of her mother, is to collect food for mothers who suffer some difficulty they know within their community.

Lilian is a committed young woman, aware that she can help others. For this reason your economic contribution to the project is vital for young girls like Lilian to continue with their education and be generating generators of development, that with what they have can offer help to those who need it.

In her free time she loves to help her mother in the domestic chores and thus contribute to keeping the house clean, as she shares: “My priority is to do my homework, because my goal is to finish this school year with good grades, but I know that when I finish them I can help at home.”
