Yesterday, we officially kicked off Fabretto Innova, a program for youth leaders to learn about Design Thinking and help them develop projects to impact their communities. Our first virtual conference was a success, and we can't wait for the in-person workshop in August!

👩‍🏫 We support our partners through teacher training. Recently, 36 teachers collaborating with our partner Ak'Tenamit strengthened their digital skills to improve educational practices in the classroom.

By training teachers we ensure that students have access to quality education. 🧑‍💻

We did it! Thanks to everyone from Spain and the US who supported our campaign. We raised $27,907 and helped our partner Ak'Tenamit build a dining hall for 365 girls in Río Dulce, Guatemala.

The girls have already started helping build the dining hall and are ready to enjoy the space to eat nutritious meals, have activities, and build their dreams.

We asked our students about their dreams and where they see themselves in 5 years. Their answers are the reason for our mission. Let's create new pathways through education for students in Central America.

The motto of our partner organization ACOES Honduras is "learn to serve," and their university scholarship students embody this principle wholeheartedly. With generous support from donors like the Zemurray Foundation, ACOES provided scholarships to 390 low-income students in 2023. In return, these scholars dedicated hundreds of thousands of hours to serving their communities, impacting the lives of 11,300 individuals through various projects. Their commitment to both learning and serving is truly inspiring, showcasing the transformative power of education.
