Little Angels of Mary and its members acknowledge their shared responsibility in the human family to leave a legacy of kindness and love in their Common Home.

What it reported doing in 2024
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM: 2024 marked the second year of operations of Little Angels of Mary's preschool in a rural and indigenous community of Santa Apolonia, where 69% of the children under the age of 5 are chronically malnourished and preschool education was non-existent. Little Angels of Mary provided early childhood education in Spanish and Kaqchikel (their native Mayan language) to 16 children ages 4 to 6, and daily nutritious meals for 28 preschool and elementary school students. The children enrolled in the preschool program showed significant improvements in their physical and cognitive growth. The community is now more aware of the importance of education and good nutrition for their children. The preschool program also implemented adult literacy classes with 12 young women and mothers who did not know how to read and write. Women as old as 55 are now able to count from 0 to 60 and write their name for the first time in their lives. The example set by Little Angels of Mary has inspired and empowered the community leaders to organize themselves to renovate the facilities of their local school and even create other development projects for their community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
