The Projects
YOUR DONATIONS HELP FUND OUR TWO CAMPAIGNS TO HELP YOUTH IN GUATEMALA
Campaign: One Drop At Time
Help Provide Schools with Access To Clean Water
Help us eradicate water-borne illnesses among children. Majority of kids in rural Guatemala do not have access to clean drinking water. Help us to buy filters and purifiers !
We have partnered with Ecofiltro, a local Guatemala company that prides itself in its eco-friendly ways, supports the local Guatemalan economy and shares our vision that no kid should go with out access to clean water.
With your donation, we could help provide classrooms with a filter and aide more than 30 kids have access to potable water at a time. As a result, we allow more kids to grow healthy and strong!
Campaign: One Pad At Time
Help Provide Girls with Access To Hygienic Disposable Pads
With Guatemala having a rate as high as 59% of its population living in poverty, and more than 1/5 of th population living in extreme poverty, common goods such as pads, which are accessible to many in the developed world, are harder to come by.
In rural parts, especially among the indigenous population, girls wash and reuse cotton clothes rather than using disposable pads.
What if having no access to these supplies meant missed school days for girls? The lack of access to sanitary napkins reduces the average time spent in school. Guatemala already has a high illiteracy rate, even higher among women.
Help us provide these essential things to girls to help them get continuously educated and at the same time, reduce disease!
