Next Step Equal Education - Local Education for Indigenous Guatemalans

Schools in Guatemala often leave their students unprepared for the future. Among 6th graders in 2014, only 44% met national math standards and 40% met national reading standards [1]. We aim to reduce this problem through our Local Education Advancement Program, LEAP, by providing resources to local schools in rural, indigenous communities. These resources currently include school supplies, learning materials, classroom resources, school buildings, technology, and books. As we grow, we will supply more books in Spanish and Q’eqchi’, transport for students to get to secondary schools, and professional development resources for teachers.

Community Collaboration toEmpower Education Next Step Equal Education is a nonprofit that collaborates with indigenous villages in Guatemala to improve their local education. Champion a Childs Education In Guatemala indigenous children need your help to get the school supplies and learning materials they lack in their local schools. Schools in indigenous villages are underfunded so they do not have adequate materials in the classroom. Additionally families in indigenous villages often live in extreme poverty so they cannot afford to buy supplies for their children themselves.
