Elderly Care
Many widows and the elderly are abandoned and suffer in very cruel ways. Sadly, in Guatemala, we lack programs that take care of this group of people. So, as an organization, we have made a commitment to provide them with food, love, and home visits to make them feel very special and worthy.
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17
How we support the elderly
In Guatemala, there is a serious issue of neglect of the elderly, as well as poverty. Many of the current elderly populations lost their spouses in the Guatemalan Civil War, which lasted from 1960 to 1996. As a result, many of our elderly are even more prone to loneliness and a lack of care and even food.
When we go to communities to run medical clinics, install stoves, or run Vacation Bible School, we often bring bags of food staples to give to the widows and other elders of the community. It is an amazing experience to spend time with these members of our society. If you are interested in helping us improve their livelihood, please contact us to see how you can get involved.
