The Sergio Paiz Foundation, also known for its acronym Funsepa, is a non-for-profit organization created aiming to provide technology that improves the educational system and contributes to the alleviation of poverty in Guatemala. We aim to be the leading organization, pioneer and innovative in the scope of education through technology, in order to impact and transcend Guatemala’s development.

FUNSEPA’s mission is to improve the nation’s social and economic development through the innovative use of technology as an effective educational tool for youth. Perhaps one of the most significant factors contributing to Guatemala’s failing education system is the severe lack of technology. Less than 20% of people in Guatemala have access to the internet which means children cannot connect to resources on the world wide web.

Funsepa has a training program for all the teachers in our equipped schools. It focuses in the using the technology as a pedagogical tool in the classroom, this program is called "ABRIENDO FUTURO", which in english means: Opening the Future.
