BECA BECA is a Non-Profit (501c3) organization that focuses on helping families break the cycle of illiter And it's not.

Did you know that in Guatemala it costs roughly $200 a year for an elementary-aged kid to go to school?🧐

This doesn't seem like much huh? Unless you make an average of $25 a month to feed your family, pay utilities, AND send your kids to school. 😨

That means to send ONE of your kiddos to school would take as much as 8 months of your salary.🤯

But what about your other kids? 😔

Though parents would LOVE for their kids to get a good education to make better lives for themselves, they often are left without many options. Kids are pulled out of school to help work in the field, take care of their siblings, or other household chores. The current costs for supporting students through school are:
Elementary student: $200/year
Basico (equivalent to junior high): $350/year
Carera (equivalent to high school): $600/year

Prices have gone up all over the world!
Our scholarship program in Guatemala is suffering from the increase cost of food, transportation, clothing, school supplies and the need for children to work to increase the family income.
How can you help?
I usually ask for donations in October for the school year beginning in January. This year I need your help to make it through the school year ending in November.
With 90 kids on scholarship we are $10,000 short of our needs. We have used up our reserve and are still short.
If you have the ability and desire to help these children please consider this mid-year request for a donation. Any amount will help.
Venmo your donation to BECA -Scholarship
