Project Description

Region: Central America

Country: USA

Location: Livingston, GT

Total Budget: $65,000

Areas of Focus: Basic education and literacy, Community economic development



*** DRAFT *** - PLEASE DEFER PUBLISHING UNTIL NOTIFIED

The "Indigenous School for Integrated Rural Development" near Livingston GT was built 20 years ago with resources from the Guatemalan Ministry of Education and is operated by the Mayan indigenous organization ACDIP.

The school focuses on rural-appropriate vocational education for at-risk rural indigenous girls and boys, training them to get decent jobs or start small businesses upon graduation.

The area served by the school has very high rates of poverty and malnutrition, and early forced marriage. In 2018 almost 500 girls (from area villages) between 10 and 14 years of age gave birth.

Under request from ACDIP, the Ak' Tenamit association is providing ongoing technical support to transfer its highly successful "education for employment" methodology.

For the 2020 school year the "Indigenous School for Integrated Rural Development" expects to house XXX boarding students.

This grant will provide funds for:

• Bunk beds to accommodate up to XXX students

• Computer equipment for classrooms

• Providing professional development opportunities for faculty and staff

• Supplies for paint and other maintenance items the school requires

DDF contributions in grey are pending approval of the corresponding district committee.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
