help create greater access to education for rural Guatemala

The goal of the Ixtatán Foundation is to help the people of rural Guatemala find the tools to create for themselves solutions to the myriad of problems, from access to clean water to the principals of farming and computer technology. The focus area of the Ixtatán Foundation is Project Based Learning model adapted to Mayan context. This academic focus includes giving students real-life problems to solve through Project Based Learning. Project Based Learning allows students to apply curriculum content into social projects, through which they learn, mathematics, chemistry, social studies, etc. We believe in the power and ability of students and youth to foster positive change in their own community.
