About Guatemala

Guatemala’s name comes from an ancient Nahuatl Aztec word meaning “land of many trees.” This Central American country is rich in Indigenous heritage and stunning landscapes. Yet many communities face challenges such as poverty, malnutrition, and limited access to education.

Implementation delay due to lack of water

Implementation delay due to lack of water

We are immensely grateful to everyone who donated to our cause and helped us reach our fundraising goal. We bless their lives, families, and work. Unfortunately, we currently have a limited water supply for the construction of the perimeter wall, as the area where the church is located has plumbing problems. Therefore, the church was forced to dig a well. Currently, the excavation is 75% complete. As soon as the well is finished, we will begin the perimeter wall project. We apologize for the delay, but we trust in God that we will soon be able to inform you that the project is completed.
