Empower a Girl in Guatemala: Education after COVID

We are proud to announce that the second training has been completed and the attendance was 97% of the scholarship recipients and 95% of the mothers.

As a project it gives us great joy and satisfaction to see that the result of the training is reflected in the school performance of the girls and young women; they get better grades, attendance and participation in the classroom increases, the habit of reading is reinforced and there are better interpersonal relationships.This monitoring process allows the scholarship technician to monitor the educational center and reinforce communication and interaction with the school principals, to the benefit of the girls.

The main advantage of monitoring is the access to information on progress and performance, which allows us to identify variations in the execution that are impacting positively or negatively on the girls’ lives, in order to make timely and relevant decisions that allow the improvement of their quality of life.

We can also notice some attitudes that can be worked on together with the families so that they contribute to the integral development of the scholarship recipients. All our actions will always be for the benefit of the scholarship girls.

Our action as a project, in addition to the trainings and the delivery of the economic stipend, also includes carrying out collective tutoring.

The reason? To detect situations that are being an obstacle in the academic formation of our scholarship girls, in order to resolve situations encountered and strengthen the skills and attitudes of the scholarship girls, all for their integral growth and to prevent them from dropping out of school.

The girls are accompanied through counseling, resolution of doubts, explanation of school issues, family issues, review of project tasks, dialogues with parents and, in special cases, topics such as the importance of studies, reinforcement in reading, among other activities.

All of this is done with the goal of generating bonds of trust and security between the girl and the technician, which were achieved.

The intervention of the Scholarship Project is very important to stop school dropouts, and also for the girls to have a better quality of life for themselves and their families. With your contribution you are supporting the development of many girls in need. Every donation we receive allows us to continue our work, for a better world. Thank you very much!
