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.

HEALTHY HOMES WITHOUT POLLUTION

HEALTHY HOMES WITHOUT POLLUTION

Brother Santiago and his family are very happy and grateful for the support of Compassionate Causes, which has made their dream of building decent bathrooms for their families a reality. Unfortunately, we were delayed in starting the project due to Brother Santiago's work schedule, which prevented him from beginning on time. Transporting the materials was also very difficult because the area where he lives is very mountainous and vehicle access is very complicated. However, in July, the entire process began, and work is currently underway. These bathrooms will be of great help to these families, as they will prevent contamination and many diseases.
