At CoEd, we’re breaking the cycle of poverty through education.
We believe that students can change their lives through three pathways. . .
Reading
Elementary students develop literacy—a crucial foundation for later learning—and further build reading comprehension and critical thinking skills in middle school and beyond.
Technology
Middle and high-school youth are provided with badly-needed digital literacy training that positions them with necessary tech skills for future employment or further education.
Graduation
Students receive comprehensive, holistic support services and youth development that enable them to graduate with the skills to become the next generation of young leaders.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
Spark Reading
1 in 3 Indigenous Guatemalans cannot read or write.
Kids in CoEd’s Spark Reading Program are learning twice as much as kids in regular classrooms.
Textbooks
90% of rural Guatemalan classrooms don’t have textbooks.
CoEd helps schools build financially self-sustaining textbook rental programs in underserved communities.
Technology
Rural Guatemalan students lack opportunities to gain tech skills.
95% of CoEd Technology Program graduates continue their education or find a job.
Rise
Only 10% of rural Guatemalans graduate from high school.
CoEd’s Rise Youth Development Program helps promising students become the people they dreamed of being.
In regions of Guatemala where 4 out of 5 Indigenous people live in poverty,
%
of CoEd Rise Program graduates find a job or continue their education beyond high school.
