Developing Scholars is a registered Canadian charity that provides opportunities for Guatemalan children living in poor and rural areas of their country to attend school and other educational opportunities that they and their families could not otherwise afford. Guatemala is one of the poorest countries in the Americas and the rural areas are particularly poor. In a few selected communities, we work with community leaders and our local representatives to identify and support educational projects of various kinds.We have successfully started a middle school (Samox), where school previously ended at the elementary level,which has now been funded by the government.In the community of La Primavera, we started a high school ,providing teacher salaries, academic material and supplies, as well as training workshops. We also provide individual scholarships to 30 academically qualified students at the high school and university level,assisting them in reaching their academic goals.
