Guatemala

Our Strategy

Lift indigenous Guatemalans out of poverty by providing access to better food and healthcare. Network with group home for adults/children with cognitive and physical disabilities.

The Context

Guatemala struggles with government corruption, high crime rates, crippled infrastructure and high rates of malnutrition. About 80% of the population lives in poverty, partly because fertile land - the most important means of production in this agricultural economy - is concentrated in the lands owned by just a few.

Our Work

  • Distributing food and providing nutrition education to mothers with young children
  • March 15, 2013 Joseph House International Food Relief Program began networking with Chilton Baptist Association and the Alianza Evangelica De Guatemala to bring our own blend of nutritious food relief to the country of Guatemala.
  • Building Construction Project- Built a home for Baptist Pastor Eduardo Gomez in Guatemala.
  • Wrote a children's book with English/Spanish translation continuing education.
