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 9th 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.
