Fabretto Children's Foundation

Every child carries a future worth showing up for. 🌱 Across rural Honduras and Guatemala, that is exactly what teachers, facilitators, and community leaders do every day. They show up in classrooms, in fields, in conversations that shape what comes next for the children and youth they work with.

And on the other side of that effort, there is a child sitting at a desk, ready to learn. 📚⭐

In Honduras, a child at Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, a Fundación ACOES Honduras partner center, walks a long way to get to school each day. Her mother remembers carrying her part of the way when she was younger, and how she would sometimes fall asleep along the path. It is a quiet reminder of what families are willing to do for an education.

At San Isidro, also an ACOES partner center, the entrance to the school looks different now. Improvements in safety and infrastructure have transformed the space into somewhere children feel safe arriving each day.

And in the kitchen at Buena Vista, an Asociación Compartir partner center, a new recipe book is changing how MannaPack meals are prepared, developed by cooks who turned training into creativity, and creativity into meals children actually look forward to.

Three stories. One mission. Communities and families working every day to make more possible for their children. 💚

When Annie Hall, Fabretto team member, visited Guatemala for the first time, she met high school students with Asociación Q'eqchi' Xch'ool Ixim who weren't asking how to leave; they were learning how to stay.

They are growing crops, starting businesses, and carrying new knowledge back to their families. What she saw wasn't a gap. It was potential, being built from the inside out.

The Students Who Want to Stay | Fabretto Two graduating high schoolers and one recent alumna greeted us as we entered a small office space in a rural mountainous area, Alta Verapaz, about 4 hours outside of Guatemala City. The young women were wearing their traditional Mayan clothes, and the young man was stealing glances at all of us Amer...

Across rural Guatemala, indigenous Maya girls have largely been left out of digital education. At Talita Kumi in San Pedro Carchá, that is continuing to change. 💻

Recently, a Fabretto team member visited Fundemi Talita Kumi to deliver new digital literacy materials to students and teachers, one guide on building a digital world, another on staying safe in it. Two skills every student deserves. ✔️🌱

Last month, our Friends of Fabretto community traveled to Guatemala 🇬🇹 to visit Seeds for Progress, Fundemi Talita Kumi, and Asociación Q'eqchi' Xch'ool Ixim. They met the students and teachers who show up every day, and left with a deeper understanding of what this work really looks like on the ground.

We are so grateful to everyone who made the journey. And to the communities who opened their doors: thank you. 💚
