Mission

Since its inception in 1991, Fotokids (originally under its then fiscal sponsor, the San Carlos Foundation) has utilized photography, graphic design, and media technology as tools for self-expression, creativity, leadership, and vocational training for hundreds of youth from poor rural and urban areas. The majority of our students are in Guatemala. In addition to learning employable skills with Fotokids, they receive scholarships to study in formal schools from the primary level through university.

Programs

2 programs

In Santiago Atitlan, our students learn in an inspiring and purpose-built environment that includes a teaching garden, pergola, and custom-designed classroom. Hands-on learning in photography and digital design gives students marketable skills and a space to express their creativity. In response to ongoing economic hardship in the region, Fotokids also provides families with food baskets and nutritional support. As the Santiago program grows, our team remains committed to innovative solutions that ensure educational access and community wellness for all participating families.

Expenses: $66K

Our scholarship program in Santiago Atitlan and Guatemala City provides children with access to formal and vocational education from primary through secondary school, including a growing number of college scholarships. The program covers tuition, school supplies, uniforms, and transportation, enabling students to focus on their studies without financial stress. By supporting higher education, we open doors to advanced career opportunities and empower underprivileged youth to achieve their full potential. This investment in education helps break the cycle of poverty and creates a brighter future for youth in Central America.
