What does CFE mean in NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

CFE stands for Cooperative For Education, which is a nonprofit organization that works to improve educational outcomes in rural Guatemalan villages by helping schools build teacher capacity and provide students with access to learning materials.

CFE engages in activities such as investing in quality education programs, distributing books and technology tools to classrooms, creating a “Lending Library” to increase student access to literature, and promoting local social entrepreneurship initiatives such as their “School Store” program.

Since the launch of its book donation program in 1995, CFE has provided more than two million textbooks to over 500 primary and secondary schools across 22 departments within Guatemala. This impactful work has helped these schools positively affect educational results through improved student attendance rates and academic achievements.

Individuals can take action and support the mission of CFE by making a donation online via their website or sponsoring an event hosted by the organization. Volunteers can also apply for positions ranging from Board Members, Support Coordinators, Outreach & Engagement Specialists, Communications teams members and more.
