In Guatemala, ACCESO International has supported bilingual preschool education since 2003 in remote locations and in the capital for children who, along with their parents, had previously harvested the city dump for survival.

We have provided educational supplies, supported the development or reconstruction and furnishing of pre-school classrooms which provide a comprehensive and creative education.

The consistent support from ACCESO International has allowed us to develop sustainable educational programs in Guatemala. Most recently, ACCESO helped us construct a new school for our students in [a remote village] as well as support a new girls’ empowerment program … aimed at providing young girls with skills, knowledge and a support circle.

To me, my students are very important and, here at the “Garden of Angels”, we are preparing the future leaders of my community and I want to educate them with the same love I was taught when I was a child so they can achieve everything they set for their lives.
