The Education Centre Francisco Coll in Guatemala City provides education and training to 310 poor boys and girls from families that live in makeshift homes near the city landfill and earn a living by recycling waste. The Centre, run by Dominican Sisters, aims to give the children a better future through education, hope, and a daily meal, since most do not eat breakfast at home. It was founded in 1994 to serve the communities around the landfill and help the children gain skills to determine their own destiny.
