Children in a Guatemala classroom with school supplies

Our Programs

How We Reach Every Child

Two focused programs — designed around the real rhythms of the school year — To help students begin their year with confidence.

Simple Supplies. Lasting Impact.

In Guatemala, many public school students begin the year without basic supplies — not because their families don't care, but because the cost is simply out of reach. A pencil, a notebook, a uniform, food: small things that make an enormous difference in whether a child shows up ready to learn.

Our program is built around the real needs of students and teachers on the ground. We work directly with local schools and community partners to ensure the most at need children receive the help they need.  We guarantee every supply reaches the child it was meant for by delivering supplies ourselves!

Starting the year strong

Back-to-School Supply Drive

Every February, as Guatemala's school year begins, we distribute complete supply kits to students across our partner school. Each kit includes pencils, erasers, markers, crayons, sharpeners, pens, notebooks, and more — everything a child needs to walk into class on day one feeling prepared and equal.

We also provide school uniforms and physical education uniforms, because we know that showing up in the right clothes matters just as much as having the right tools. When a child looks the part, they feel the part.

Kits distributed each January or February depending on their school schedule
Community Supply Drives

Turning generosity into action

Community Supply Drives

We mobilize volunteers, local businesses, and community organizations to host supply drives that funnel resources directly to students in Guatemala. These drives build awareness, deepen community investment, and multiply the impact of every dollar donated.

Whether it's a church group, a school, or a local business, anyone can host a drive. We provide the materials, the guidance, and the connection to the students who will benefit. Community generosity is one of our most powerful tools.

Drives hosted each year
