Preschool Sponsorship
Sponsoring a child for preschool provides a solid foundation for success when entering into the grade school system. Nearly half of all preschool-aged children in Guatemala suffer from malnutrition. Many in the rural areas do not speak Spanish in the home. These two factors significantly affect the ability of these children to get a good education. FundaMaya operates three Preschool Nutrition Centers that give children from the most impoverished families a chance to start their education and to receive critical nutritional assistance.
