Scholarship Project Refocus

By Kay Sweeney | Managing Director

Darli, Yessica, and Margarita
Darli, Yessica, and Margarita

As we announced in our last Kateri Update, we have decided to make the Intern Program our focus for our work.  To accomplish this in 2020 we began to phase out our scholarship program.  The graduation of Darli, Yessica, and Margarita completes our commitmet.  As the young women graduate, we request that sponsors shift their support to our intern project..  

With your permission, your 2021 support will go to our intern program, Empowering Guatemalan Women with Professional Jobs.

Carmela Paz Bal, the coordinator of the Intern Program is beginning the process of interviewing the new applicants.  We will keep you updated as the process moves along and send you information as soon as the young women start their internships.

The Kateri Intern Program is unique. This is where your donation can make the greatest impact. Because the young women are doing such good work, they are being offered permanent work before they finish their internships. This really is a sign of success!

Of the young women who have participated in the intern program since its small beginning in 2004, over 75% have gone on to find employment.  They are all working hard with the same goal—a permanent job! 

Over the years, you have invested in many young Guatemalan Indigenous women.  I know they appreciate your confidence in them.  Thank you for your efforts on their behalf.  Everything is possible with a little kelp from a FRIEND!
