Guatemalan Relief Assistance for Children's Educational Services
GRACES breaks the cycle of generational poverty in Guatemala
GRACES is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the cycle of generational poverty in Guatemala by providing a holistic education. GRACES equips students with tools for the future, including access to technology, English language skills and entrepreneurship opportunities.
GRACES exists to provide equitable access to education for students who would not have access to quality education otherwise.
The Reality of Poverty in Guatemala
The families that we work with make on average $297 per month
In Guatemala, minimum wage is $350 per month. However, 70 percent of the workforce is informal and therefore does not receive minimum wage. Adequate education for many is a gift, not a right.
