Hygiene Kits for Guatemala

The Village Experience has been working with our partners, Vamos Adelante, in Guatemala for many years. We adopted several village on the slopes of Volcano Fuego in 2008 and have been supporting Vamos Adelante in their work to increase access to education, healthcare, and nutritious food ever since. We support and uplift the team at Vamos Adelante and based on their identification of community needs, we continue to develop and sustain programs that will improve the general overall living conditions of those living in the communities of Zapote, ChuChu, Osuna, Ceylan, and more.

Rural villages in the Esquintla Province of Guatemala suffer from lack of access to basic education, healthcare, and nutritious food. Many of the families in the area are migrant coffee farming families that struggle to make ends meet on a daily basis and often require their children to work, bypassing an education. Through the program that Vamos Adelante has implemented, families have the opportunity to educate their children, provide them with proper medical care, install clean water and wood-saving stoves in their homes, and learn valuable income-generating skills.

Consider a Donation:

The Goforth Family will be traveling to Guatemala in November and needs your help to reach their $1,000 goal to provide much needed specialty hygiene kits to households in need on the slopes of Volcano Fuego. These kits were essential during the COVID crisis and continue to remain an urgent request from the community.

The hygiene kits would contain items such as  toothpaste, toothbrushes, body soap, disinfectant for the house, detergent for clothing, dish soap, and a broom. All sourced locally to help uplift the economy.

Please consider a donation to help the family reach their goal. They will personally help assemble and distribute these kits while in Guatemala in November and report back to all donors. Every little bit counts!
