Education for 400 children in Guatemala

I hope all is well with you. Thanks to your donations, our regular monthly donors, those getting involved in Charity Challenges this coming year and other fundraising events, the following is what we have planned for 2024 and how all your donations will make a huge difference to the communities where we work in Latin America.

In Guatemala we will continue with the scholarship programme aiming to help one hundred secondary and college students. Thanks to the scholarships even more girls are continuing their studies and we aim to have half and half in 2024.

We plan to expand Plan Costura (sewing business) to help single mothers and University students cover extra costs of their education. Plan Huerto (school vegetable gardens) will provide quality food in the schools and Plan Reforestation aims to offset the carbon footprint of The Phoenix Projects including all internal local teachers’ transport and international flights for Charity Challenges and the Impington International College school trip to Perú.

We aim to purchase school materials for over one hundred primary school students who cannot afford the basics in spite of the government providing some items at the beginning of the school year. Our local teacher will continue to work in the communities, offering help with homework and advice as well as managing the sustainable plans.

The graduation ceremonies were held for the rest of our scholarship students in Business Administration in December with many already securing full-time work and others starting in 2024. The new school year starts in a couple of weeks.

All the best for 2024 and thank you in advance for your continued support during it!

Cheers
