Thanks to ongoing support, GHA has now completed 161 floor replacement.
Another school year has just ended in Guatemala. Sporadic covid closures over the last 2 years have left deep gaps in education, while government spending for it has decreased annually. Indigenous people receive less than half what the state provides for education and social assistance for non-indigenous. Structural racism and gender inequality are endemic, with poverty affecting nearly 80% of the indigenous population, while 60% suffer from chronic malnutrition. Native languages are unsupported in the schools, often leading to failure and repeated grades.
GHA addresses these issues by offering tutoring as well as scholarships and enrichment classes.
GHA has also helped women start flocks of chickens for market. From GHA's initial offering of 6 chick per woman, flocks have multiplied under the capable care, and families will benefit from both nutrition and sales.
We thank you on behalf of these grateful communities.
