SAFE HOMES FOR CHILDREN INCORPORATED

We're dedicated to improving the lives of Guatemala's least fortunate children with nutritional, educational, and medical initiatives. We believe that all children deserve access to basic needs and have made it our mission to provide that to those in need.

Our organization started in 2003 after our founders, Jody and Vicki, felt inspired to begin nonprofit work and bring basic needs to low income communities with no government assistance. As a result, we have started numerous programs aimed at giving back to local communities. We run a "mama and tots" program that does a monthly drop off of formula to 6 different communities for women who are malnourished and often do not make enough breast milk to nourish their infants. We have partnered with organizations to build and distribute bunk beds. We use our land to grow crops and vegetables, which are given to families in need. Additionally, we provide an after-school program for children where they can receive help with homework and offer activities and games for them to enjoy. We are always looking for medical and dental teams to visit and provide basic medical care and have multiple facilities to house large volunteer groups.
