Guatemala SERniña Update

With schools in Guatemala still closed due to the pandemic, our partner SERniña (by REALgirl) continues to innovate to meet the critical needs of the boys and girls in their program. In lieu of their normal after-school workshops, they are creating engaging empowerment magazines which cover the majority of their core themes including menstrual health and violence prevention.

Over the past month, they have been meeting with parents of each participant, one at a time, to explain their new offerings and how to support their child with their remote-learning magazines.
