We serve as an innovation platform, facilitating access to best practices to girl and youth development actors. As services and opportunities expand throughout Guatemala, our impact grows, promoting equity and inclusion. Since 2016, we’ve provided innovative, girl-focused training to over 65 organizations and schools through collaboration.
At MAIA, our educators are pioneers in implementing innovative teaching techniques that embrace local talent and participatory development. That’s why we decided to share our best practices and founded the Voces por la Educación (Voices for Educatuon) network to work alongside 7 partner organizations: Together with 7 partner organizations: Population Council, Glasswing International, Cooperative for Education (CoEd), Child Aid, Puerta Abierta, School the World, Tierra Nueva ONG and Limitless Horizon Ixil.
A network of schools committed to improving learning outcomes in Guatemala. Through a series of workshops, school leaders across the Eduk’at network develop the skills to set clear school goals, use data to drive continuous improvement, and strengthen distributed leadership practices. Equipped with these tools, they translate vision into everyday action and lead schools that reflect the values, priorities, and aspirations of their communities.
The Guatemala Hub, a part of the START Network, supports cohesive communities through mutual solidarity and actively advocates for their rights in disaster preparedness and humanitarian response.
Every year at the MAIA Impact School, we welcome a new generation of Girl Pioneers. It is a transformative journey that changes the trajectory of the future of their lives, families, and the broader community.
With your investment, these remarkable young women will break cycles of poverty and build a brighter future.
