EDUCATION

IMPROVING ENTIRE COMMUNITIES FROM THE GROUND UP BY FOCUSING ON ONE CHILD AT A TIME

IEP adopted Escuela El Molino, a government-managed nursery, preschool, and primary school on the outskirts of Tecpán, Guatemala, in September 2017. At the time, it was understaffed, under-attended, and in desperate need of renovation. First, IEP pledged to give each student the books and supplies they needed to learn. Then, we extensively renovated the facilities and hired additional teachers. Today, thanks to our Education Program, El Molino School is thriving. Better attended than ever before, we now even offer a secondary school program for children who want to continue learning past the 6th grade.
