The Atitlan Alliance offers academic opportunities to Guatemalan youth from the largely indigenous communities surrounding Lake Atitlan. Because school is not free after the primary level, many families can’t afford to give their children more than a 5th grade education. Without donations to support their education, future possibilities for these kids are limited.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, The Atitlan Alliance offers education scholarships to students from some of the area’s poorest families. Our hope is that ongoing financial assistance from donations will allow these young people to finish high school–and possibly even to attend university!
We do this work with the conviction that education is a proven path out of generational poverty. All Americans working with the Atitlan Alliance are volunteers.
We are a 501 (c) nonprofit and all donations are tax deductible!
