A More Balanced World
inGuatemala

Guatemala is a nation where literacy is high but unemployment is rampant and more than half the population lives in poverty. Education is free through 9^th grade but inequalities in school access and grade attainment, linked to ethnicity, gender, and poverty persist, keeping a segment of society– usually the indigenous population – underserved by education resources

Mayan women are the least likely to enroll in school, and if they do, they are among the first to drop. 75% of Guatemala’s indigenous population lives in poverty. AMBW remains a steadfast source of support for this subset of people, as well as the general population.
