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.
