Imagine This Was Your Child. Wouldn’t You Want Someone to Help? 

Thank you for being here. In the Indigenous Highlands of Guatemala, 
children with enormous potential are held back by barriers no child should face—poverty, lack of internet, limited access to school, and no one at home who can help with homework. Every gift made removes those barriers and right now, thanks to a 1:1 match, your impact is doubled.

Your montly gift today helps students stay in school, 
discover their purpose, and build a future they’re proud of.

And thanks to a generous 1:1 match, every dollar you donate is doubled.

Why Your Gift Matters — If It Were Your Child…

📘 You’d want them in school, not working to survive. 
A scholarship gives a child the chance to learn, grow, and dream.

💻 You’d want them to have the tools every modern student needs.
Your gift provides a computer or tablet and access to our offline digital learning system called MAYALink.


🧑‍🏫 You’d want someone patient and kind helping them understand their homework.
Club Extra provides tutors who step in when parents cannot read or write.

💡 You’d want them to discover their strengths and passions.
Robotics, electronics, programming, hands-on learning—these spark futures.

💛 You’d want them to feel safe, seen, and supported.
Your gift wraps a child in encouragement they might not get anywhere else.


🚀 You’d want them to have a future filled with possibility.
Education opens doors to careers, stability, and hope.

Alex’s story proves what’s possible.

He once believed migration to the U.S. was his only option. A scholarship and Club Extra changed everything. He became a top student, taught himself English, became a program facilitator, and is now studying computer science at a leading university. Your generosity creates transformations like his.

Give today—and give a child what you'd want for your own.

Mission

GuateStar helps the indigenous population of Guatemala break the cycle of poverty through educational and community outreach projects. We build schools, give our students access to technology, teach Biblical values and provide community healthcare.

Background Statement

GuateStar is a non-profit founded by Ken and Lori Anderson in 2015 in response to an invitation by the Guatemalans for help. This continues a long tradition of helping the indigenous population of Guatemala that began in the 1950's by Ken's parents, Loren and Helen Anderson. As generations and their needs change, the methods have changed, but the goal remains the same. The Anderson's deep history with the people and culture provides a direct understanding of their needs and an efficient way to help through applying best practices. GuateStar seeks to provide solutions and resources that help, but don't create dependency.
