Our Mission
Vida Guatemala is a non-profit organization that improves the quality of life of children and youth with disabilities in Guatemala, providing comprehensive and inclusive learning environments for children with and without disabilities and job inclusion opportunities for youth.
Our Vision
Create a nurturing and inclusive society where people with disabilities can thrive and gain greater independence to live fulfilling and happy lives.
Why Inclusive Education?
Inclusive education gives all children a fair chance to learn and develop the skills they need to thrive!
It means providing an accessible space for ALL children, with and without disabilities, to learn in the same classrooms, creating a culture of inclusivity within our communities.
Why Guatemala?
1 out of 10 Guatemalans is disabled.
The under-resourced public school system lacks the capacity to offer inclusive education. Without proper education for their development, children with disabilities remain excluded from society and are often denied the chance to go to school, graduate and join the workforce, hindering their chances of becoming financially independent.
