In our communities, a home is not just a physical shelter; it’s a source of hope and dignity. Through our Home Building program, we provide the most vulnerable families with a safe and adequate place to live. This program transforms lives by improving living conditions and restoring the emotional and spiritual well-being of those who need it most. Each house built is a step toward a more stable future for the families we serve..
NUTRITION PROGRAM
In Guatemala, chronic malnutrition affects 46.5% of children, hindering their physical growth and cognitive development. Our Nutrition Program is designed to tackle this crisis by providing essential food, educating families about healthy eating habits, and supporting them in growing their own food resources. We work hand-in-hand with local communities to ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong.
Education is the foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty. However, in Guatemala, 18.5% of the adult population is illiterate, perpetuating social and economic exclusion. Our Education Program seeks to change this reality by offering literacy classes, vocational workshops, and school resources for children and adults. We aim to open doors to a brighter future for every member of the community.
Cooking with open fires and stones is not only inefficient but also poses serious health risks due to constant smoke inhalation. Our Ecological Stoves Program provides a sustainable solution that reduces firewood consumption, improves indoor air quality, and protects the environment. These stoves enhance health while allowing families to spend more time on other productive activities.
Many children in our communities have spent their entire lives sleeping on the floor or sharing makeshift beds with several siblings. Through the «My First Bed» program, we offer them the opportunity to experience the comfort and dignity of having their own new bed. This small gesture makes a big impact on their well-being, health, and self-esteem, helping them rest better and face each day with more energy and hope.
