Mission: Guatemala Aid fund is a 100% Volunteer organization dedicated to helping abandoned and orphaned children in Guatemala by supporting Guatemalan run sustainable programs that focus on housing, healthcare and education. The children we serve are among the neediest the world and without these programs education and even minimal health care would be virtually out of reach. According to the United Nations World Food Program, Guatemala has the fourth highest rate of chronic malnutrition in the world, with an estimated 49 percent of the children suffering from chronic malnutrition. All of the money raised by GAF is sent directly to the selected programs run by Guatemalans with which we have direct and regular contact. Our goal is to continue to not only keep the children alive and healthy, but to provide education to support their chances for employment and lifelong self-sufficiency. Funds can be specified for educational programs, as well as daily needs required for housing, food, clothing, medical expenses and psychological assistance. GAF currently provides direct donations to: The Fatima Home for Children; Luz de Maria Orphanage; among others.
