Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
A simple but incredible gift to nourish Guatemala’s children. Guatemala has one of the highest rates of chronic childhood malnutrition in the world. There, even a simple glass of milk is a precious gift to a hungry child. When you give the gift of full-cream milk powder, you empower our ministry partners to rehabilitate Guatemala’s abandoned children and orphans.
Nourish precious lives all year long with a small monthly gift.
