This
site was originally created to raise $4500 to build a safe,
sturdy brick home for Aura Hernandez and her family in Guatemala.
Since our goal was met in November of 2004, we decided to
launch other small projects that bring big changes to the
lives of families in developing countries. $53,021
raised
to date for needy families. More
about us.

Vickie Weidenmann from Children International writes, "Among our sponsored children in Guatemala City, there are over 4,000 families that have four or more family members but that have only one or two beds per household.
Our Guatemala City Agency would like to begin to alleviate this problem by providing single beds with mattresses (1 bed per family) for at least 40 of those families with the greatest need."
Summary
Cost per bed: $105
Project total: $4,200 ($105 x 40 families)
