Help Build a Parking Lot for Centro Educativo Francisco Coll in Guatemala City
We're raising funds to build a secure 8-space parking lot at Centro Educativo Francisco Coll in Guatemala City to benefit 230 students and 187 families. Teachers, staff, and visitors currently have nowhere safe to park, impacting both security and accessibility.
🚗 Why This Parking Lot Matters
Protects Teachers & Visitors: A reliable place to park means educators and guests can focus on what matters—our students—without fear of theft or damage.
Supports Community Access: Many families have traveled from across Guatemala for a better future in the city. Improving the school’s infrastructure supports those efforts.
Improves Student Safety: Less traffic congestion around the school grounds creates a safer space for students.
🌱 It's About More Than Parking
Our school is located near open-air landfills, which release hazardous methane gas—a flammable and toxic pollutant more dangerous than CO₂. These dumps can spontaneously ignite, leading to devastating fires and serious health risks for nearby residents, including our students.
When we enhance our facilities, we send a strong message: these children deserve a safe, dignified place to learn and grow. This parking project is one piece of the broader effort to uplift our school and protect our community.
💛 Here's How You Can Help
Your donation will fund:
Land preparation and construction of a paved lot
Safety signage and lighting for after-hours security
Environmentally-conscious drainage and layout
Every dollar you give helps provide not just asphalt and concrete—but hope, dignity, and safety.
👉 Donate today and help us build something bigger than a parking lot—a stronger future for our children.
Thank you for standing with Centro Educativo Francisco Coll. 🌟
Project 2 🙋
2) Please help fix a termite problem at school in Guatemala
The existing wooden roof beams are infested with termites and have weakened them greatly. This building is currently used as a student dormitory and also has a computer lab. Funding is requested for a project to replace the wooden roof beams with metal beams and also to eradicate termites.
