ONE MORE CHILD
Global Ministry in
Guatemala

Our ministry partners in Guatemala have been helping meet the physical and spiritual needs of vulnerable children and struggling families since 2008. A vibrant nation that is rich in Mayan heritage, Guatemala continues to develop after years of civil and ethnic unrest. 43.5% of children in Guatemala experience growth stunting due to malnutrition, according to a 2023 UNICEF report. Stunted growth can cause severe developmental delays and increases the risk of death. 23 children per 1,000 life births die under the age of five.
