How do we do this â–¼
Supporting Single Mothers
We are dedicated to supporting single mothers by addressing critical issues like chronic malnutrition, disease, and access to quality education for their children. By providing vocational training and affordable housing, we empower them to build better futures for their families and communities. Through these efforts, we foster lasting change and resilience.
History
Guatemala’s history, while marked by challenges, is a testament to resilience and cultural richness. From the ancient Maya civilization, renowned for its remarkable achievements in astronomy, architecture, and agriculture, to its vibrant modern-day traditions, Guatemala’s cultural heritage remains a source of pride. Despite periods of colonial exploitation and 20th-century conflicts, including a civil war, the country has made strides toward peace and democracy. The 1996 peace accords ended decades of unrest, fostering opportunities for rebuilding and growth. Today, Guatemala's diverse communities, stunning landscapes, and rich traditions inspire hope for a future rooted in unity, progress, and cultural preservation.
