Completed Projects
The following is a list of projects completed since we began in fall of 2016.
Thank you to our generous sponsors and all your donations!
new bed & bedding
The bottom corner picture is the previous "bed" that had blankets covering it and this was the "bed" that a child slept on. We replaced it with a new twin bed and bedding.
Can you imagine how a good night sleep on a safe and comfortable bed can help overall health, and increase education by allowing proper rest?
groceries
Provided a basic supply of groceries many times to families identified to be at need for malnutrition. These supplies included items for the tortilla making business to help with a starter income.
Over 50% of children in Guatemala are hungry, and in some areas it is up to 70%! Groceries can help to reverse malnutrition, provide food staples that can be used increase income, and provide decent breakfasts and lunches to increase success in school.
Due to privacy concerns, we have removed pictures of the children sponsored. Above is some of the supplies that were provided.
Schooling
The school year in Guatemala runs from January until September. You helped enroll 17 children into school for 2017!
Education is the main way to break the cycle of poverty.
We are hoping to partner with a local school to identify projects to help the school as a whole as well as being able to identify families who would appreciate help for education.
