Story

During the year, we aim to provide food parcels and economic help to the elderly members of the communities to help supplement their diets and help cover costs of medicines and weekly costs. Due to COVID-19 we aim to provide hand sanitizer and supplies of soap over the long-term for all our students for when they enter and leave the schools each day to reassure parents and the elderly that it is a safe environment.

Impact

With the elderly running the home the children can go to school and leave the chores to them, allowing them to get a formal, vital education and develop their family out of poverty. The parents can leave the house and childcare in their hands to go out to work and earn more money for the family.

Challenge

The elderly are a huge part of family life in the communities where we work in Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador and Peru. They live with the family, under one small house and they help with the grandchildren, cooking, cleaning, working, they do everything! But when it comes to dinner time their isn't always enough food for the grandparents. They are often malnourished as they are forced to wait until there is more food to eat, if more food comes.
