Convivimos (Community Strengthening Project)
The overall goal of the Community Strengthening Project is to support efforts by the Government of Guatemala (GOG), civil society and community actors to address the causes and consequences of violence through holistic prevention approaches. This activity will contribute to GOG and U.S. Government objectives of decreasing violent crime rates in targeted areas by identifying out-of-school youth that are struggling readers or illiterate, and by promoting parental engagement in reading improvement activities, such as reading at home. Improved reading skills and basic life competency skills of at-risk youth are the expected results.
