The needs can seem overwhelming. But remember:
You can MAKE A DIFFERENCE. |
Feeding Programs
|
Feeding Program: one of Hope4Guatemala visions is a Guatemala where children do not die from hunger, for which we have set up two feeding centers in two different communities to provide one meal a day, for most of these children is their only meal during the day. We feed between 250 to 300 children a day in each community. The feeding programs services depend completely on generous donations from partners and friends. |

Food Distribution to the families of the villages.
Hope4Guatemala believes that all people deserved to have their basic need met; and that christians have a calling to help others where they are able. This programs relies on the many dedicated volunteer mission teams who come for week-long trips to work in the communities. Each food bag contain enough food and goodies for a week or more in a family up to 6 members. The cost of each food bag is $15.00

Construction Teams
|
Homes of Hope: Building not only a house but a home, a shelter from wind, rain and cold for families of extreme poverty in the rural areas of Guatemala. The Dimension of the Houses are 16' x 19' and made out of metal. Teams of 4-8 people with little or no construction skills can complete this home in 3-4 days. You can can build a house for $2500.00 *The families that receive these homes must own their land and participate in the construction process. Each family helps prepare the house site prior to the work teams arrival. |
|
Henhouse: One way that we help provide an income and a food source for the people of Guatemala is to build hen houses for needy families. The hen houses has 25 hens and it can be built in three days by teams with limited construction skills. When the Project is complete, the hens are immediately producing an egg per day on average. These eggs can be consumed or sold.
You can build a Henhouse and provide 25 hens for $800.00 |

The Plancha Stove: Most rural Guatemalans cook using open fires on the floor of their "one-room" homes. Excessive smoke inhalation is the leading cause of death in Guatemalan children under the age of five, Smoke from open cooking fires kills 8 times more people than malaria and daily cooking is equivalent to mothers and children smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day, according to the World Health Organization. The plancha stove uses an efficient burning technology which virtually eliminates smoke and deadly carbon monoxide in the home by 68%, reduce wood use by 50% and ultimately save lives. Using the plancha stove means longer life expectancy, safer child development, and more time and energy for families. You can build a stove and bless a family for $250.00 |

Water filter: Safe drinking water is very often not available with no provision in rural areas for a safe backup supply. Bacteria and pathogen free water is an absolute necessity for good health. Most rural people draw water from rivers, streams, ponds, or rainwater, which may be the only sources of water for some rural villages in Guatemala. Water may be murky, with an unpleasant odor and taste and can easily be a source for disease and infection. The Gravity Water Filter is specifically designed to micro-filter a supply of safe drinking water using a simple two container system. A person simply pours the water into the top container where it then filters into the lower container, providing up to 10 gallons of safe, filterfed drinking water every 24 hours. You can bless a family with a water filter for $50.00 |
