Sponsor a Guatemalan Child
Connecting through Child Sponsorship
ShuarHands, Inc. is pleased to work in cooperation with Niños Shecanos, a non-profit Guatemalan organization,to provide the opportunity for Child Sponsorship.
Through letters, pictures and occasional gifts, you will come to know about your sponsored child’s family, community, daily routine and his or her hopes for the future. These connections give children hope, make them feel nurtured and provide the confidence they might otherwise lack. Sponsor a child through ShuarHands, Inc. and you will build a personal, one-to-one relationship with your sponsored child.
Of the 174 nations analyzed by the UN in 2000, Guatemala ranked 124 in development. Approximately 57% of the families are poor and 27% are living in extreme poverty (less than $1.00 per day). Your sponsored child of Mam origin resides in the rural area of the Department of San Marcos.
What your donation of $20.00 per month (less than $1.00 per day) can do for a child in need:
When you sponsor a child, we will combine your donation with donations from other sponsors to support community-wide programs.
Your donation will offer vocational skills, provide health care and establish renewable sources of food and safe water. Emergency assistance to children and their families who are victims of natural disaster will also be provided.
Educational programs focusing on health hazards and child protection issues will be given. We also assist parents in parenting issues, nutritional awareness, legal rights, in an effort to better support their families. Together, we can help plant the seeds of self-sufficiency.
