Energy in your Studies

The Mario López Estrada Foundation through Grupo Onyx’s Horus Energy, continued with the delivery of bags of supplies for children enrolled in the different educational centers near the Solar Plant “Horus Energy ”, located in the municipality of Chiquimulilla.

This is part of its School Support Program called “Energy in your Studies” that since 2017 provides school supplies to 33 educational establishments in Chiquimulilla, of different levels of education: kindergardn, elementary, middle and High-school levels. The only requirement is that the student is enrolled in the national education system.

In 2023, the Program turns 6 years old, and a total of 9,280 bags of supplies have been delivered, which contain: a waterproof bag, notebooks of various characteristics, pens, pencils, sharpeners, scissors, rubber bands, play dough (for kindergarden), crayons, erasers and zippered cases, with an investment of $84 thousand dollars, equivalent to about Q672 thousand quetzales in total for the duration of the program.

The Directors of the public schools recognized that thanks to these donations, the attendance of children to schools has increased and, at the same time, school dropout has decreased, since the delivery of new and good quality school supplies not only motivates children to attend school, but also allows parents to send them without incurring the expenses that their purchase represents.
