Books and Wings Foundation of Guatemala, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Redwood City, CA, dedicated to improving the lives of young Guatemalans through education and literacy programs. Founded in 1993 by Todd and Mary Phoenix, who adopted their son Antonio from Guatemala, the foundation supports schools and libraries in the Costa Sur region, where illiteracy rates are as high as 50% and many students end their formal education after 6th grade.
With a belief that literacy and education are essential for breaking the cycle of poverty, Books and Wings Foundation of Guatemala works tirelessly to provide resources and scholarships to young Guatemalans, ensuring they have the opportunity to continue their education beyond primary school. All donations received by the foundation directly benefit their projects in Guatemala, with the founders covering all administrative and travel expenses themselves.
