FRIENDS OF GUATEMALAN CHILDREN INC

Casa Guatemala was established in 1977 assisting the malnourished, orphaned and abused children during the brutal civil war in Guatemala. Our early efforts catalyzed the mission of the organization to provide a safe home, nurturing, health care and an education for the children of Guatemala who are abused, abandoned, malnourished, or living in extreme poverty. We provides educational and health care services to up to 300 children per year. These children are either Wards of the State in our care, or children from the 30 surrounding Mayan villages who live in cases of extreme poverty.
