In the midst of the most-hyped shopping days of the holidays, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving back. So we invite you to save the date, and join us on Tuesday, December 3rd for #GivingTuesday and our annual #NoHungryKids campaign.

In Guatemala, many families struggle to put food on the table. We’re told that over 70% of indigenous children in Guatemala suffer from malnutrition. And we know how much some of our students depend on that meal they’re served when they arrive at school.

Will you help us make sure these kids don’t go hungry? It only takes 55¢ to provide a meal to a Vida student. That means $11 provides 20 meals!

Our #GivingTuesday goal is to provide 20,000 meals for Vida students. Will you help us reach it?
​
This #GivingTuesday, you can give hope to children in Guatemala in the form of a hot, nutritious breakfast or lunch. Please, start thinking today about how many meals you can give next Tuesday!

The smiles can hide the backstory, though. So often, a bright future is hard-won in Guatemala. 
Like for Rosy – one of our Grade 7 grads. Abandoned first by her father, and then (in desperation) by her mother, she and her sister have grown up in the care of her grandmother. The family doesn’t have much. Even now, Rosy picks up work in the mornings before school to earn some money to help out.

Rosy wants to be a teacher so that she can support her grandmother when she grows up. But Rosy needs your help to realize this bright future.
So we ask you to join us in building this brighter future for Rosy and for children like her. Until the end of the year, your donation to our Build a Brighter Future campaign for school construction and educational programs will be matched dollar for dollar (up to $100,000!), so your dollars will stretch twice as far! We’re building more classrooms at Vida Chijacorral and making sure our students receive the programs they need.
Will you help build a brighter future for children like Rosy?
