Child Aid
Child Aid invests in literacy and education programs because we believe curious kids can change the world. For more than two decades, Child Aid has worked to improve the quality of education in Guatemala’s indigenous communities. From the start, we recognized the link between illiteracy and systemic poverty, and saw the possibility to make a lasting impact in children’s lives through education.
Child Aid partners with elementary school teachers and the schools where they work to create vibrant classrooms full of literacy and learning. Our literacy and education programs focus on developing the core literacy skills and habits of reading that are so critical to lifetime learning. We stock classroom shelves with colorful, engaging books, train teachers in literacy instruction and support school programs that give students more opportunities to spend time reading and developing their skills.
