Give the youth of Guatemala a chance
building a better future through carpentry education
Our story
Since 2002, the Carpentryproject has been committed to the children and youth of Alotenango. At the school in Alotenango, children learn the basic skills of the carpentry trade and youth develops into professional carpenters. The workshop is a miniature society where the youth of Alotenango develop social skills in addition to carpentry. Where they can be a carefree child and gain insight into their own skills and talents. Where they build confidence and enjoy making things together.
Since Bryan joined the project, he's changed a lot. He was a very shy boy. When he comes home now he tells enthusiastically about the important work he has done. And he tells me that he is very blissful and happy. It's been a big help to us and it's changed Bryan a lot
Bryan's mother about the Carpentryproject
meet our students
​
Byron is the youngest child of a family of 7 children. Due to economic reasons, he could not attend secondary school. He had already heard from his cousin Brayan 3 years ago that there was a carpentry project in Alotenango. Because he turned out to be a good student, we offered him the opportunity to follow our education 3 whole days a week. His dream is to become a construction worker. He is therefore very happy with the opportunity we give him to to train in the carpentry trade.
