Child Aid is a nonprofit organization focused on transforming literacy education in Guatemala by equipping classrooms with trained teachers and books, thereby improving students’ access to quality reading instruction in some of the country’s most underprivileged public schools. The initiative targets children who would otherwise face limited literacy opportunities, aiming to create learning environments where students gain fundamental reading skills and can contribute to their communities and the broader world. Based in Lake Oswego, Oregon, the organization operates within the education administration field, emphasizing teacher development and resource provision as core inputs to better literacy outcomes. Since its founding, Child Aid has positioned itself as a driver of classroom-level change in Guatemala, including recent activities such as launching a program centered on amplifying the voices of Guatemalan girls, which reflects an emphasis on inclusive educational access within its broader literacy efforts.
