Education
What we do
Education is at the heart of our mission to empower Guatemala’s youth. Through our Education Program, we provide scholarships, annual school backpacks, and daily tutoring sessions supported by teachers and virtual tools. We also offer didactic materials to help children complete their homework and succeed academically. Over the past 12 years, we’ve distributed over 1,000 scholarships and 1,600 school backpacks, ensuring that children not only attend school but also have the resources they need to excel. Additionally, we provide vocational training for mothers and accelerated education programs endorsed by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education.
Homework assistance
Daily tutoring sessions help children complete assignments and improve their academic performance — an essential support for students who might not have a parent at home who is able to help them with their homework.
English, Reading, & Math
Focused instruction in these critical subjects provides children with skills needed for the modern workforce. English education, in particular, opens doors to opportunities in Guatemala’s growing tourism sector, a major economic driver in the region.
Scholarships & Resources
Providing annual school scholarships, backpacks, and learning materials reduces the financial strain on families and encourages consistent school attendance. These resources equip children to succeed academically, giving them the tools to envision and achieve brighter futures.
Sponsor a child
Every child is a universe unto themselves — each deserving of the opportunity to succeed. When you sponsor a child through Project Genesis, you provide them with the tools they need to thrive—education, daily meals, healthcare, and vocational training. Your support helps break the cycle of poverty and empowers a brighter future for the children in our community. In return, you’ll receive a photo of the child you’re sponsoring and a hand-written note from them expressing their gratitude for your transformative contribution.s.
