Developing Scholars is a registered Canadian charity created to provide opportunities for Guatemalan children living in disadvantaged areas of the country to attend school.
Mission statement: We endeavor to increase educational opportunities in rural areas of Guatemala so that indigenous people living in poverty can attend school, receive quality instruction, and obtain the skills they need to improve their lives.
Our work: In remote areas of Guatemala, we work with community leaders to identify and support projects, such as school teacher salaries, academic material acquisition, and training workshops. We also provide scholarships to academically qualified students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and work closely with the students and their families to ensure their continued success. Sourcing and managing our projects effectively requires a strong local presence which is provided for Developing Scholars by our agent, Alice Lee So Fong.
