Thank you for helping us
change lives and save lives
Greetings!

It's not over in Guatemala. Normal is not back!

The COVID-19 pandemic is still wreaking havoc throughout Guatemala. The crisis continues to affect the most vulnerable people in the remote villages where we work. Jobs, access to health care, food security and even transportation to the market is a struggle. Education is disrupted and most schools remain closed. Government imposed restrictions are still in place. Vaccines are not widely available but at least our medical team has received their first dose.

We are doing everything we can do within the COVID restrictions.

Thanks to your generosity, our two health clinics are open and our health teams are caring for patients, instructors are teaching vocational classes, 80 high school and college students are attending virtual classes, 25 students in junior high school attend classes each week at our Learning and Skills Center and 85 families have received new stoves.

Children are hungry, people get sick, or dads lose their jobs. There is always a need and an opportunity to help. Please support our work.

With deep appreciation,

Lois & Ken Werner
Co-Founders
Smoke kills.
Daily exposure to toxic smoke from open fire cooking is one of the
world's biggest - but least known killers. Burns and illnesses
caused by smoke exposure lead to serious health problems,
especially for women and children.
