In the steep, remote mountains of Guatemala, hunger is all too common. Subsistence farmers have been devastated by drought, poor harvests and other factors beyond their control.
Many young children are in danger of starvation. Guatemala has the highest child malnutrition rate in Latin America; almost half of the children under age 5 are chronically malnourished.
Several young ones in remote areas have died from starvation. Local doctors in the region worry that even more children will perish if they don’t receive food. These children are in critical need of your help.
“…the children beg
for bread, but no one
gives it to them.”
(Lamentations 4:4b, NIV)
At Food For The Poor, we reach out to help feed hungry children and their families. We work in Guatemala and other countries to provide desperately needed food and other lifesaving aid to those in need. But we rely on the compassion and generosity of people like you to make this possible.
Founded in 1982, Food For The Poor provides food, clean drinking water, basic shelter, medical supplies and education to the destitute. Fundraising and other administrative costs comprise less than 4% of our expenses; more than 96% of all donations go directly to programs that help the poor.
You have the power to ease the pain and suffering of innocent, hungry children in Guatemala and elsewhere. Please, help bring a grateful smile to a mother’s face and save a precious life through your gift for food today.
