In Guatemala, education is divided into Pre-Primaria (párvulos and kindergarten), Primaria (Primary school 1st to 6th grade), Secundaria (Secundary school, 3 years known as Básico), and Diversificado (3 years of High School). For the last several years, children who went to middle school and high school had to pay for tuition to go to school and many families simply could not afford it. The current Guatemalan government has made it possible for free education for all children. Globally Minded Works is thrilled for such a move as many more children will have access to education.

Ongoing needs for most of the rural schools in Guatemala include: books, supplies, furniture, computers, and even buildings. With donations from people like you, Globally Minded Works aims to fill this gap.

Not all schools are fully paid for by the government. Some still require parents to pay for tuition, books, and school uniforms. In such cases, in the communities we work, we may provide scholarships so children can go to school.

charitable projects in Guatemala by donating to our work.
