For the Guatemala 2025-2028 country strategy, we are looking for a new operational partner organisation (NGO based in Guatemala) that shares our vision and has proven experience in promoting education.
What's planned?
The Pestalozzi Children's Foundation supports the Guatemalan Ministry of Education in improving the quality of teaching - especially in multi-grade schools.
The focus is on:
- developing curricula and learning materials,
- promoting reading and writing skills,
- strengthening the pedagogical skills of teachers (including digital methods),
- creating safe, child-friendly and environmentally conscious learning environments.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for an NGO with local legal roots in Guatemala that:
- has proven experience in the areas of education quality, children's rights and safe learning spaces,
- works with clear responsibilities between strategic management and operational implementation,
- uses PCM and RBM (Project Cycle Management / Results-Based Management) methods,
- has solid financial and monitoring systems,
- has already implemented child protection and PSEAH (Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment) guidelines or is willing to develop them.
