Overview
Mission
Guatemala aid fund is a 100% volunteer run non-profit organization focused on improving the lives and futures of abandoned children in guatemala by supporting sustainable education and health programs that generate opportunities for future employment and self sufficiency using guatemalan-run programs. Education is a very high priority for gaf, our goal is to enable orphan status children opportunities for a consistent education, something that is often completely out of reach for guatemalan children. Gaf also supports in-country community supported and child/family focused programs for self sufficiency and safety. Gaf funds go to housing, food, clothing, education, medical and psychological support, family and parenting support, as well as sustainable environmental initiatives and special projects. Gaf programs are dedicated to expand the education and living situation for abandoned children and families with hope for better opportunities.
