Educational Scholarships Program

When you sponsor a student from the Neurological Institute of Guatemala you offer access to special education and therapies to children and young adults with Intellectual Disabilities or Autism who need it. You offer them the opportunity to learn to read, share, play, participate in the school band, to be included in society, to work. You can be the motivation that moves them to overcome their challenges.

Special education in Guatemala is expensive, and in some areas of the country there is no access nor support for the children young adults with ID or Autism and their families. For this reason, the NIG was created 60 years ago, where we try to impact more and more families, offering them special education and services that they need for their integral development.

What do sponsored children receive?

Access to high quality special education
Supportive therapies such as: physiotherapy, language therapy, occupational therapy, sensory integration, etc.
Psychology services, neurological attention, social work.
Accompaniment with their school inclusion
Preparation and accompaniment for their inclusion at work
Support and guidance for their families
