FUEL OUR
100% MODEL

Welcome to the Apoyo Family!
Literacy + Leaders Support
Your donations, whether one-time or recurring, will go directly towards training teachers and creating young, avid readers. Each year, we build a library for a school that desperately needs one. We will then provide 1-1 professional development on how to put these new resources into action by building a high-quality, sustainable literacy program. We believe that literacy is the backbone of education and the path to a brighter future. With your help, we can give that to students + teachers in Guatemala!

Employment Support
We’re in the opportunity-creation business. Even after graduation, we have seen that there is simply a lack of employment opportunity in Guatemala. We believe with your help, we can change that.
Through our partnership with Education for the Children Foundation, we target students who show great promise in entrepreneurship and a true determination to change their family’s lives. Through an entrepreneurship class and mentorship by local business leaders and YOU, we raise up students who are ready to take the next step in their lives and just need that final, financial push. Grants will be awarded to students whose business plans have been heavily vetted and revised. Through your connection and hands-on mentoring, we are confident in our program’s success. We have seen lives changed as jobs are created and communities are re-juvenated. Let’s write our next success story together.
Welcome to the Apoyo Family!
Student Support
Through our sponsorship program with the Education for the Children Foundation, we offer an integrated approach to breaking the cycle of poverty through education and empowerment for our students and their families. Alongside the education sponsorship, there are nutrition, counseling, healthcare and social support projects. You will create a true relationship with your student, whether they are just starting kindergarten at The School of Hope or heading off to high school. Through letters and photos (and hopefully visits) your support will help students reach their dreams!

Power Our 100% Model
We believe that every penny donated should go directly to the incredible people we work with each day. We don’t believe this is a radical idea; it’s just the heart of our mission of having a 100% model. Of course, running any kind of business has overhead costs, and that’s why we are so fortunate to have a small group of generous donors who believe so strongly in our 100% model and our commitment to create education + employment opportunities. The amazing people who make up The Arches allow us to stand by our promise to give 100% while also growing efficiently and sustainably.
Welcome to the Apoyo Family!
WE PROMISE 100%
Every. Single. Bit. Helps. Our 100% model means that general donations like this allow every single penny that we get for sponsorships and micro-businesses to go directly to the student, school, classroom, and community where it belongs. You can rest assured that your gift is a part of a grassroots effort to create opportunities and change lives. We are so grateful for your generous giving!
