What is behind fundingfriends?
The Initial Position
In Guatemala, the right to education is enshrined in the constitution. Attendance at a 6-year elementary school is compulsory, the only type of school that the state must make available to all children free of charge. Despite this, around 245,000 girls and boys between the ages of 7 and 12 still do not attend school. Unfortunately, the percentage of school-age children not attending school has increased significantly in recent years, from 5.5% in 2006 to 19% in 2015.
Our Mission
Our mission is clear – to give children in Guatemala better access to education! In addition to building more schools, this also includes further improving the quality of the existing educational opportunities and being able to ensure the sustainable continued financing of the projects.

Why us?
Even existing schools and buildings in Guatemala are often in poor condition. In poor areas, classrooms are often built with corrugated iron walls and the teacher’s desk is made of a few bricks. In other cases, each student must bring a bucket of water to flush the toilet. Earthquakes, landslides and floods have caused irreversible damage to many school buildings, and the affected students have no classrooms for an indefinite period.
We from fundingfriends are the first association from Osnabrück, which is committed to better educational opportunities in Guatemala and has already entered into cooperations with experienced associations from Germany. We have our entire focus on the one project and are 100% behind it, as many of our members also have a private interest in the success of our project through travel and personal experience. We all know each other from our studies and want to pass on the chance of a good education together as well.
