*The number of our schools increases annually. However, so does the Guatemalan population, which does not allow this statistic to increase significantly.

**"CoEd-Managed" computer centers are those that are fully managed by CoEd. "CoEd-Assisted" computer centers are centers to which CoEd has provided equipment & training, but are self-managed by receipient schools.
