In Guatemala, education is a precious asset, yet for many girls, completing school remains a distant dream. In the country’s poorest communities, families often lack the financial resources to support even basic educational expenses. For these families, daily survival is a priority, meaning that education takes a backseat. In such cases, girls are frequently the first to leave school, often expected to take on responsibilities at home or find work to support their family.

Economic Challenges and Limited Access

The economic challenges faced by many families make it difficult for girls to stay in school. When resources are scarce, parents are forced to prioritize immediate needs, such as food and housing, over the long-term benefits of education. Furthermore, school-related expenses—such as uniforms, books, and transportation—add to the burden, making it even harder for families to support their daughters’ education.

How Scholarships Can Change Lives

Without the financial support of scholarships, many girls are forced to leave school permanently, losing the chance to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities. Scholarships not only cover the basic costs of education but also serve as an incentive for families to invest in their daughters’ futures, shifting cultural perspectives on girls’ education and providing a pathway out of poverty.
