Lara Hoyem

Lara se unió a School the World en 2025 y supervisa nuestro trabajo de marketing, administración y tecnología. Con 25 años de trayectoria en puestos de liderazgo en Silicon Valley, siempre se ha sentido atraída por ayudar a los equipos a adaptarse al cambio y a utilizar nuevas herramientas para que su trabajo sea más sencillo, claro y eficaz. Tras su transición al sector de impacto social, descubrió una profunda pasión por apoyar a organizaciones sin fines de lucro que a menudo se encuentran al límite de sus recursos, ayudándolas a fortalecer sus operaciones y a servir mejor a sus comunidades. Originaria de California y ahora residente en Boston, a Lara le encanta viajar, las experiencias globales y pasar tiempo con su familia.

200 Schools. Thousands of Dreams.

We just reached a historic milestone! Thanks to our community of supporters and local partners, we’ve officially dedicated our 200th school in Central America.

This isn’t just about a building—it’s about 17 years of community-led transformation and the start of a five-year commitment to the children of Tululché II.

From Guatemala to the Philippines, our co-investment model ensures every dollar you give creates a self-sustaining foundation for education.
