Highlights
This year, 2025!
55 previously unemployed young people have become the solution to a longstanding problem, disrupting the sad history of Mayans’ meager access to early child education and flunking out of the first grade.
Over 600 kids ages 4, 5, and 6 are learning in small groups, using innovative activities. 95% are passing first grade and 80% staying through the 6th grade.
Dedicated men and women believe that all children in their communities deserve to have access to early child education
Let’s Be Ready has created a
dynamic new teaching model that gives access to the neediest children in rural Guatemala
Let’s Be Ready trains and equips community-minded young adults to teach children ages 4-6 in remote, hard-to-reach areas of Guatemala. By combining our culturally relevant curriculum, student-centered learning, best practices, and daily nutritional snacks, children are equipped to be successful every day. Extension activities, including gardening, art, and social emotional learning, add depth to our curriculum and instill curiosity about the world around them. After two years in our program, students keep succeeding at their own levels.
Students receive instruction with a rich curriculum with a focus on literacy and social emotional learning.
600 Kids
95% of children that graduate from LBR perform at or above level in the first grade and beyond.
95% success rate. (students are evaluated three times a year)
45 Classes
Let's Be Ready does not build schools rather we use community spaces offered to us by local leaders.

Let's Be Ready Classrooms span 5 different departments in Guatemala.
Get Involved
Guatemalan children deserve better.
Young newly literate women in Guatemala are giving them that opportunity, opening preschools in their homes and community spaces.
Founded by Guatemalan women they have over 50 classrooms, but thousands more are needed.
Fortunately, the program is easily replicable with an investment of $300 per child per year
which makes $3,800 per class per year. Don't hesitate in contacting us if you want to make any donation or have any doubts!
