Guatemala May 2025

Guatemala has some of the neediest and most vulnerable children in the world. Scores of Guatemalan children live without the most basic necessities and struggle to survive day-to-day. Many live in shacks built out of miscellaneous materials, lack of access to proper nutrition and education. Many are subjected to various forms of abuse.

Where

Guatemala, located in Central America, and home to 37 volcanoes, is a fertile country best known for chocolate, coffee, and jade. Guatemala was home to the seat of the Mayan Empire, and many Guatemalan people still have Mayan ancestry. After winning independence from Spain, Guatemala struggled through years of revolutions, including a coup d’etat, and a civil war that lasted over 30 years, ending in 1996. Although Guatemala is rich in natural resources, most are owned by foreigners or the wealthy descendants from the Spanish. The disparity between the rich and the poor of Guatemala is one of the most extreme in the world.
