Welcome

Since 2004 we support the children of our community in Quetzaltenango. With our different projects we create a safe space where kids can be kids. This is important because at home they have to live in poverty and are neglected. That's why together with our staff in Guatemala and a lot of volunteers we continue in our mission to create brighter futures for children, one initiative at a time. 

 

Together, we can continue to make a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Our Projects

This is how we support the community.

Afternoon Program

The primary objective of this project has consistently been to enhance children's cognitive abilities through a range of recreational activities. Concurrently, our emphasis lies on fostering creative skills and promoting teamwork.

Scholarships

School dropout rates continue to impact an increasing number of children annually. The APARES scholarships aim to provide the community's children with the opportunity to pursue their dreams and persist in their education.
