In the remote Ixil region of Guatemala, young people like Eliseo Tum are discovering that faith and education can change everything. Through the Nicolás Christian School, Eliseo found a path out of poverty—and a calling to give back to his community.
Together, we’re breaking the generational cycle of poverty and building a future rooted in Christ-centered learning and hope.
Nicolás Fund For Education provides students with the skills and opportunities they need to rise out of poverty and transform their lives. NFE is creating a generation of young leaders who can help bring about real and lasting change in their communities.
NFE seeks justice and equity for the Ixil, a Mayan indigenous region in Guatemala who have experienced systematic discrimination for over 400 years. They have also been targeted for extinction in a 36-year genocide. All of this has kept these families locked in poverty for generations.
Nicolás Fund For Education’s comprehensive approach aims to provide students with an education that prepares them for success while fostering Christian values.
