Helping Children All Over Guatemala
Across rural and underserved regions of Guatemala, thousands of children face barriers to education, health, and basic living conditions. At A Better Life Guatemala, we work every day to change that reality. Through school support, food distribution, medical care, and emotional guidance, we help children thrive, dream, and grow. Whether it’s delivering a bed, offering a vision screening, or simply showing up with love and respect—every child we reach brings us closer to lasting change.
We’ve raised over $175,000
Thanks to generous supporters like you, we’ve delivered hundreds of water filters, organized mobile medical and dental clinics, built bunk beds for children sleeping on the floor, and provided training for women and families seeking a better future.
