Our mission is simple; we provide a loving, nurturing and enriching environment for young Guatemalan children, so they can become strong, healthy, creative, and open-minded individuals. The children come from all over the country and are either orphaned, abandoned, or come from families unable to care for them.

Guatemala is a country ravaged by a 36-year civil war and, as a result, does not have adequate social structures to provide children with what is
necessary for them to develop into well-educated,

healthy adults. Many families are so poor they cannot care and feed their children. On top of that, national institutions are full of neglected, orphaned and abandoned kids.

Because the development of children is intertwined with the society in which they live, and how well that society supports and sustains its families and individuals, we can conclude that it takes a village to raise a child. Continue to "The Program" to learn more about our Children's Village.
