We believe in education.
We believe in employment.
We believe in opportunity.
What we don’t believe is that any of these things should depend on where you’re from.
That’s why we believe in life-changing relationships that create sustainable opportunities.
This is Project Apoyo.
APOYO means “support” in Spanish, and it’s our mission to be that helping hand on the path to stronger communities.
We believe this starts with EDUCATION + EMPLOYMENT.
WHEN DOORS OPEN, LIVES CHANGE
We are passionate about connecting you to people who are making real, lasting change in Guatemalan communities. With Project Apoyo, it’s not just a monthly donation and a magnet on your refrigerator. It’s a commitment to changing lives through education + employment opportunities.
STUDENT SPONSORSHIPS
Opening the door to education opens up a world of opportunity. We are so proud to partner with the Education for the Children Foundation to create that opportunity. Students you sponsor will attend their School of Hope until high school where they will then continue to be sponsored through the assistance of their Further Education program. We believe in their mission to break the cycle of poverty!
MICRO-BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
We refuse to let a lack of resources determine someone’s opportunity. Through our micro-business program, families and students have the chance to not only receive financial assistance through your generosity, but also business mentoring from our team and local leaders (as well as you)! We are committed to creating opportunities for lasting employment.
TEACHER SPONSORSHIP
We believe students are only as strong as the teachers in front of them. For that reason, we take the extra step of offering teacher sponsorships as well. In our one-year program, teachers will undergo intensive mentorship and development, earning much-needed classroom supplies as well. We believe our impact can multiply by creating strong teachers, thus creating strong students!
