Our work would not be possible without our partners. Thank you so much to all those who lend a hand, including:

​

You: You, our donors and volunteers, are our most important partners. You are helping to make a better life for Guatemala’s children.

​

Asocición Juntos Podemos: We work hand-in-hand with Asociación Juntos Podemos (AJP), a Guatemalan nonprofit association founded at the same time as Together We Can Guatemala (TWCG). The two organizations were founded with the same mission in order to work together as a tightly-knit team. Each has its own board of directors. AJP directly implements the programs and TWCG supports that work with fundraising, technical and logistical support, volunteer work and management/oversight.

 

Last Manos de Christine: Las Manos de Christine (Las Manos) is a nonprofit that has been a presence in El Hato for years. Like us, Las Manos is dedicated to improving the educational opportunities of El Hato students. One of the ways they do that is by donating to our sister organization AJP to defray the expenses associated with running the tutoring center and the Garden of Hope.

​​

SERNiña: SERNiña is another nonprofit that has been working for years in El Hato and other towns around Antigua. SERNiña is dedicated to ending gender inequality in Guatemala. They run a variety of programs to empower girls and mothers. They also run programs for boys, recognizing that ending gender inequality can't be achieved if you ignore the boys' side of the equation.​

​

Escuela Rural Mixta José Ignacio Ortiz Vides: The public school in El Hato, Escuela Rural Mixta José Ignacio Ortiz Vides, has been another key partner in our work. Before the El Hato Literacy Center (EHLC) got its own house, the school donated the space that hosted EHLC. There, we taught library classes, provided afternoon tutoring, lent books, and supported a variety of other educational and development activities in El Hato. The public school recognized the value of our contribution there and encouraged us to expand our offerings. Since 2021 we've had our own site off school grounds. However, we continue to communicate frequently with the school to ensure that we are meeting the scholastic needs of the students who participate in our programs.​
