As part of our commitment to our students receiving a high-quality education beyond the classroom, we have designed a vocational hospitality certification program for our high school graduates. Teaming up with the most recognized 5-star hotels in Antigua Guatemala, our students can train for a year in concepts and hands-on skills that introduce them to the Hospitality Industry that formally employs over 80% of Antigua Guatemala’s workforce.

Education is the best way to break the cycles of poverty, change lives and improve communities
The education is a fundamental right that no one can take away from you.
Education is a fundamental human right to which every child is entitled. By supporting the funding of a child’s education, you foster their personal development and improve the quality of life for them and their families. You can offer a better future and the chance to break free from the cycle of poverty. Moreover, it is a gratifying way to give as it allows you to build a unique bond with the child whose education you support.
Become a sponsor today and bring lasting change to a child’s life! As a sponsor, you not only provide financial support to the education of our students, but you also have the opportunity to become their mentor and friend.

50/50
Access to education for girls means access to the necessary skills for active participation, economic autonomy, and empowerment within their families and their communities. At Niños de Guatemala, we want to provide equal opportunities for girls and boys to reach their full potential. Our classrooms are made up of 50/50 boys and girls. This is a great goal considering that the social reality in the area is that girls do not have the same access to education since they must comply with household activities, raise siblings, and support the mother or father in economic activities.
98%
“From first grade to graduation day.”
98% of students that start 1st grade at Ninos de Guatemala finish their elementary studies. With adequately developed critical thinking, communication, and technology skills, they will reach their full potential as productive community members with better opportunities, lowering the need for migration. This represents us a 2% dropout rate in elementary, compared to the national average of 15%. The support and responsibility of the families are key, which is why we work with them to influence them integrally and make home support a central axis of their studies.
