YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
Travel, engage, educate, empower and connect with the community.
School Building Project
r180 Intl. has been building schools in the mountainous northeastern regions of Guatemala. We have established over 40 primary and secondary schools for the indigenous Mayan tribes. These schools are funded and supervised in various areas, including Lake Izabal, Rio Dulce, El Estor, and other underdeveloped jungles. We have built school buildings and community centers to benefit these communities.
We have collaborated with administrators from Guatemala City and superintendents from the Ministry of Education of Guatemala to commission teachers and develop diverse educational programs, with the goal of nurturing young scholars until they complete their secondary education.
r180 Intl. School
Founded in 2018, r180 Intl. established its first school in Marcajam village. In partnership with Intellectus Edu., a platform with a curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education, we now have 30 students in 2022 from the village and nearby villages. They are able to continue their education without having to leave their homes. We had our first alumni attending University now!

Social Impact
The world is full of starving people who lack food, life, and love. This cycle is often difficult to break without outside resources coming into the community to connect, engage, educate, and empower.
Our mission involves an integrated, holistic commitment to building schools, providing education, and developing social impact programs. These programs enable graduates to start their own businesses or work for their peers, focusing on local resources and needs.
Most of the villages we work with lack electricity and running water. As we develop programs, we take into account the area's infrastructure and accessibility, even in terms of transportation. While the logistics can be challenging, we will not be stopped and will continue developing one village and one child at a time with your support.
Social impact business programs provide life lessons and opportunities, as well as local resources for underprivileged people in Guatemala. Our organization has worked on several projects, including bakeries, chicken farms, fish farms, and microfinances.
