My Nonprofit Reviews

I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Starfish Impact School in person to drop off some donations while I was traveling in Lake Atitlan, and I was so glad I made time for it!
As a social worker with a background in youth development, I was thoroughly impressed by the comprehensive holistic approach Starfish applies to all of their programs in their effort to educate young women. You can tell the Starfish team has been very intentional and responsible with the way they have developed the girls' school, making sure that the program objectives and implementation are driven by community needs and community input; many of the teachers and full-time staff were from the surrounding community, some of them were even graduates of past Starfish projects.
It was really great to see an NGO with such a transparent, effective, and sustainable approach, and getting to meet some of the young women who are students was such a treat! All the students there were smiling and engaged and participating actively in the classes we got to observe, so wonderful to see!
