“Gfd works to support and elevate the health, well-being, and education of indigenous mayan children and families in remote, rural guatemalan communities through philanthropy, aid, and in-person service. Together, with our ngo partner in verapaz, we create and implement sustainable solutions to the tragic reality facing mayan communities, including: ~ 80% of children are chronically malnourished. ~ only 1% have access to clean drinking water. ~ 5% of girls reach 3rd grade. ~ 10% of communities have any source of electricity. ~ 90% of adults are illiterate - even fewer speak spanish. ~ 1% of communities have proper sanitation. ~ 75% of children, under age 8, have intestinal parasites. ~ 80% of people earn less than 2 per day/10 hours of manual work. The mayan communities we support do not have access to electricity, safe drinking water, proper sanitation, adequate schools (especially for girls) sustainable food sources, passable roads, or reliable medical care. There is minimal government support, advocacy, or protection for indigenous mayans in guatemala. The region has also been severely impacted by covid, climate change, and drought which has exacerbated regional and life difficulties. Gfd works in 10 communities, serving nearly 4,000 people to combat the worsening crisis presented by covid and hurricanes. Over the past 3 years, we provided programs including: humanitarian care, education for girls, medical clinics, clean drinking water, and health education.”

“Malnourished children program during 2024, 154 children, ages 20 months-5 years were identified as suffering from severe and chronic malnutrition by our local ngo partner. Each week, children received multivitamins and food supplements including eggs, fruits, vegetables, milk, cereals, and atoles. Children are monitored weekly for growth milestones including weight, height, and overall health. Children are treated for water borne parasites with 100- 200mg of albendazole, (bi-annual anthelminthic medications). Mothers learn nutrient-rich cooking, safe-food handling, sanitation, and parenting skills bi-monthly. Families developed and maintained 171 micro farms and poultry pens to increase food security in communities. 100% of the children gained weight, health, improved wellness, and continued in the program.
