Help transform human lives & communities in Guatemala by providing basic needs to those afflicted by the cycle of poverty.
Construction: A Solid Foundation
Why build homes? We believe that if we build one home at a time, neighborhoods improve and completely transform. Through this transformation, families achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life.
Nourish a Child’s Heart and Mind
Why support children? Thousands of children in Central America live in extreme poverty. Some children have lost one or both parents to AIDS-related illnesses. Some children work to support their families. We believe children in these situations can reach their potential if they are given shelter, clothing, food, education, and medical support. Every child deserves a future.
Improve Health & Long Term Well-Being
Why provide medical outreach? Low income communities have limited to no access to health services. We believe children, families, and underserved communities should have access to dentists, nurses, and doctors. We also believe that training professionals in the community to continue providing excellent health care and education is a must.
