Little Angels of Mary

“***PRESCHOOL PROGRAM***: Little Angels of Mary's mission is to be instruments of God's love by providing nutritional support and quality education for disadvantaged children and youth, and creating entrepreneurial opportunities for women from marginalized and indigenous communities in Guatemala. To accomplish this mission, Little Angels of Mary works in collaboration with its Guatemalan affiliate, Asociacion Pequeños Angeles de Maria, to fund and run the full operations of a preschool in an indigenous community where 69% of the children suffer from malnutrition and preschool education is non-existent. All students go through periodic nutritional evaluations with a licensed nutrition professional and receive vitamins and daily nutritious meals to help them recover from malnutrition. Little Angels of Mary also provides literacy classes for the mothers of the preschoolers and women in the community who do not know how to read and write.
