We put children's books into the hands of students across rural Guatemala — and train the teachers who bring those stories to life.
In many rural Guatemalan schools, classrooms have no library — sometimes not a single storybook a child can hold. Libros Abiertos changes that, one classroom at a time.
We deliver vibrant, age-appropriate children's books in Spanish, then work alongside teachers so those books never sit closed on a shelf. Because a book only opens a mind when someone knows how to open the book.
Our name says it plainly: libros abiertos — open books. Open books lead to open minds, and open minds change futures.
