EDELAC's main goal is to prevent children from living in the streets and give them the tools they need to improve their lives. With this in mind, EDELAC created Las Rosas Elementary School as a program that provides pre-elementary and elementary education to children between the ages of 5 and 15 from K'iche, Mam, and Q'anjobal ethnicities.
At las Rosas Elementary School, children are formed with a clear transcendent life project that favors them in the development of their personal and professional achievements along with EDELAC's social values.
Las Rosas Elementary School serves vulnerable children that are socially excluded, have been living in the streets, or have a non-friendly environment with their families.
Las Rosas Elementary School provides an education that gives a lot of emphasis to human rights, cultural and environmental values through a participative methodology between teachers, students, parents, and community.
