Escuela Integrada de Niños Trabajadores started 20 years ago in Antigua, Guatemala, for children living in poverty. The name in English means “Integrated School for the Working Children.” Escuela Integrada started as a school to serve children who were working on the streets and to offer them accessible education. The school provides both breakfast and lunch five days per week for the students, as well as counseling, case-by-case benevolent care, and extracurricular classes not required by the public education system. The school serves nearly 200 students from Kindergarten through Junior high as well providing scholarships to High School students. The middle school children receive workshops weekly by a program called SERniña, which focuses on issues of gender inequality in Guatemala. Along with this, the children receive physical education classes each week, computer classes, and English and Mayan language classes. The school is managed and run 100 percent by Guatemalans. GRACES, by partnering with churches and organizations, sends Vision Trips to Escuela Integrada to provide supplemented support for the school and the families—providing food bags, wood burning stoves, hosting family nights and more. GRACES is a U.S based non-profit based in Salisbury, NC that supports and funds educational projects in Guatemala- primarily Escuela Integrada.
