Overview
Mission
Gfd works to support and elevate the health, well-being, and education of indigenous mayan children and families in remote, rural guatemalan communities through philanthropy, aid, and in-person service. Together, with fundenor, our NGO partner verapaz, we create and implement sustainable solutions to the tragic reality facing mayan communities, including: ~ 80% of children are chronically malnourished. ~ only 1% have access to clean drinking water. ~ 5% of girls reach 3rd grade. ~ 10% of communities have any source of electricity. ~ 90% of adults are illiterate. ~ 1% of communities have proper sanitation. ~ 75% of children have intestinal parasites. ~ 80% of people earn less than 2 per day/10 hours of manual work. The mayan communities we support do not have access to electricity, safe drinking water, proper sanitation, adequate schools (especially for girls) sustainable food sources, passable roads, or reliable medical care. There is minimal government support, advocacy, or protection
What it reported doing in 2025
Malnourished children program during 2025, 65 children, ages 20 months -5 years, were identified as suffering from severe and chronic malnutrition by our local NGO partner. Since 2019, 254 have been enrolled and monitored in this program. Each week, children received multivitamins and food supplements including eggs, fruits, vegetables, milk, cereals, and atoles. Children are monitored weekly for growth milestones including weight, height, and overall health. Children are treated for water borne parasites with 100-200mg of albendazole, (bi-annual anthelminthic medications). Mothers learn nutrient-rich cooking, safe-food handling, sanitation, and parenting skills bi-monthly. 1500 micro-farms and poultry pens have been created throughout the communities to support food security. 100% of the children gained weight, health, improved wellness. Total program investment: 12,000
