Supporting education in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala

Sueños de Catarina is non-profit business run by The Sparks Foundation, a charitable organization based in Santiago, Atitlán. The property was developed to support the foundation in perpetuity, and all proceeds directly benefit the local community through education, health, and hygiene initiatives. 

The foundation has built facilities for existing, local-run schools in Santiago. It has tackled malnutrition through food programs that provided every child with at least one healthy meal every day. A scholarship program is currently providing funding for secondary education, from básico through university, for over 150 students.  

In Santa Catarina, the foundation has begun working with the local school by commissioning a water filtration system that provides clean drinking water to the children and faculty.
