Gladis lives in a home where love is never lacking, but resources are. Her father doesn’t have stable work, and there are times when there isn’t enough food for the family. When having three meals a day is a luxury they can’t afford.
At Vida Schools, each child receives a nutritious meal before beginning their classes. Because full tummies learn better and often there’s simply not enough food at home. The school meal is one of the moments Gladis looks forward to most every day. Her face lights up with a smile when she receives her plate and she gives silent thanks with every bite!
It doesn’t take much to provide meals for hungry kids in Guatemala. For less than $1, you can provide a nutritious meal for a child like Gladis. Just $5/month multiplies to 66 school meals over the course of the year!
Would you consider adding a small monthly gift to help ensure that kids in Guatemala have reliable access to the food they need to learn and grow? Every dollar you add feeds another child. Every dollar fuels focus and learning and helps children thrive.
What seems like such a small amount can make an enormous difference in the life of a child.
(Guatemala has the highest rate of child malnutrition in Latin America, and rural Indigenous children like Gladis are most at risk. Thank you for taking this very practical step to help kids in Guatemala.)
