Education in Guatemala is technically free, however, the reality for many families is different. In a country where about 60 percent of the population lives in poverty, providing three meals a day is already a challenge, let alone buying schoolbooks, teaching materials, and transportation to arrive at school. Public funds do not cover these additional costs.
