GUATEMALA
School Building Project
R180 International has been dedicated to building schools in the mountainous northeastern regions of Guatemala. We've established over 40 primary and secondary schools for the indigenous Mayan tribes, specifically in areas like Lake Izabal, Río Dulce, El Estor, and other underdeveloped jungle regions. These schools, along with community centers, are constructed to benefit these remote communities.
We collaborate with administrators from Guatemala City and superintendents from the Ministry of Education to commission teachers and develop a diverse range of educational programs. Our goal is to nurture young scholars, guiding them through to the completion of their secondary education.
R180 International School
Founded in 2018, R180 International opened its first school in Marcajam village. Through our partnership with Intellectus, we now educate 56 students from Marcajam and its surrounding areas as of 2025, allowing them to continue their education without leaving home.
We're thrilled to announce that our first alumnus is on the verge of graduating from university and will return to join us as a full-time teacher. Moreover, we are preparing to send our second alumnus to university to further his education.

In hopes of providing nourishment for our beautiful friends in the mountains and the jungles of Guatemala, water tanks have been installed throughout 11 school campuses:
Telesecundaria San Jose Canton

From digging the depth of the wells to supplying water filters, we are devoted to assist the families and communities with healthy and vital living conditions.
Social Impact
The world is full of people suffering from hunger, lacking not only food but also the essentials of life and love, caught in a cycle that's difficult to break without external intervention to connect, engage, educate, and empower.
Our mission is rooted in an integrated, holistic approach to building schools, providing education, and initiating social impact programs. These efforts equip graduates with the skills to either start their own businesses or secure employment within their communities, focusing on leveraging local resources and addressing local needs.
Many of the villages we serve do not have electricity or running water. When developing our programs, we consider the existing infrastructure, accessibility, and even transportation logistics. Though the challenges are significant, we remain undeterred, committed to transforming one village and one child at a time with your support.
Our social impact business programs offer life lessons and opportunities, utilizing local resources to aid underprivileged communities in Guatemala. Our organization has spearheaded various projects, including bakeries, chicken farms, fish farms, and microfinance initiatives.
