Our Story
The initiative to start Let's be Ready arose from the great need that exists in the rural communities of Guatemala. Often, these communities are often so remote that they become marginalized, leaving their inhabitants at a continuous educational disadvantage.
Our model of preschool prepares rural children for success in primary school. We utilize local youth as teachers providing them with the necessary curriculum, materials, and training. The community provides a space for them to meet with small groups of children for 2-3 hours a day. 8 out of 10 children who go through our program, go on to complete primary school. The model has proven effective for over a decade, first in our legacy program and now more recently in our Let's be Ready program tailored for the most rural areas.
Now we want to expand to the entire country of Guatemala, and we need your help!
The Art Of The Smile
Let's be Ready is a stand-alone initiative adapted to cater to the needs and challenges of rural Guatemala. We are a non-profit social organization that supports rural communities in need of preschool education in Guatemala. Our programs serve children aged 4-6 years old living in rural areas.
