Supporting students and teachers for a brighter future.
Supporting education and development.
Partners for Guatemala Education provides education and development support to Santa María Tzejá, a rural community of indigenous Maya located in northern Guatemala.
Working in solidarity with Santa María Tzejá’s community leaders, we seek to promote access to high quality education to empower its next generation of leaders.
Primary School
Due to a weak public education system that is chronically underfunded, only half of Guatemala’s youth complete primary school.
We work with Santa María Tzejá’s primary school, providing funds for school supplies to help ensure that the children of Santa María Tzejá have the tools they need for a solid educational foundation.
Middle School
Middle School is not free in Guatemala and many children are unable to enroll due to a lack of economic resources.
We work with Santa María Tzejá’s middle school, providing funds to cover school tuition so that all students may attend. We also provide financial support for teacher salaries to help ensure that Santa María Tzejá’s youth are able to obtain a quality education.
Computer Center
Computer literacy is an integral part of a modern education.
We provide support to Santa María Tzejá’s computer center, so that it can provide students with the computer skills necessary to excel in today’s world.
Scholarships
Few in Guatemala are able to attend high school.
We provide scholarship support to a limited number of graduating middle school students, helping enable them to obtain a high school education.
Community Support
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning. We work in solidarity with the Community of Santa María Tzejá—as partners—in a shared commitment to building a brighter future for the children of Santa María Tzejá.
“With the support from Partners for Guatemala Education, we have been able to serve our students better than ever.”
— Gregorio Canil, Basico Principal
