Many intelligent and ambitious Guatemalan children are forced to drop out of school because their parents lack the resources to continue their education. Our program provides secondary school scholarships to deserving children. These children "pay back" their scholarships by participating in community service projects such as tree planting, litter collection, and tutoring. These projects complement the students' formal education by teaching them valuable leadership, vocational, and citizenship skills.

CoEd's Scholarship and Community Give Back Program offers scholarships to 30 students annually at a secondary school in Santiago, Sacatepéquez, Guatemala.

We need sponsors to support our 2009 students! The cost is $500 per year. If you are interested in sponsoring a child, please contact Jessica Stieritz at 513-731-2595, x. 5 or jstieritz@fuse.net.
