Nonprofit Overview

Mission: To provide financial and physical assistance to the poor in guatemala, especially to orphans and children whose families are unable to provide for them. In particular the organization provides funds for the operation of a children's home and school (asociacion guatemaltecco americana de ayuda mutua y cooperacion social "agua viva") in chimaltenango, guatemala. There are 61 children under the home's full time care, however 6 of the older children live in a transition house outside the home in order to prepare them for when they leave the home at age 18. There are over 300 students that attend the school. The home and school are located upon property owned by the organization.
Programs: The organization's funds are used to support the operation of a children's home and school in chimaltenago, guatemala. The home cares for over 61 children. Because they are older, and getting close to the age when they must leave the home, six of those children reside in a "transition home". The others reside in the home. The organization also supports the operation of a school on the same property, which services the children from the home and children from the impoverished neighborhood next to the home's property. The number of students that attend the school exceeds 300. The cost to maintain, house and feed over 61 children who are cared for by the organization was 373,582.
the organization has only one mission which is described in explanation number 1. Part of that mission is to support the operation of a school constructed on the organization's property. The school has over 300 students. The school goes only to middle school. All of the age appropriate children who live at the home attend the school. The other students come from the impoverished neighborhood that is located next to the organization's property. The school has 23 teachers and is considered excellent.
the organization provided $5,971 as scholarships to impoverished children in the neighborhood of the home to enable those children to attend the onsite school. Without the scholarships, they would have been unable to attend. The scholarships were based upon need. The organization incurred expenses for work teams and for materials for individuals who came to the home to do new construction, building repairs and programs for the children.
there were no additional program service accomplishments or expenses related thereto. However, a portion of the wall that encloses the home and school was destroyed by an extreme storm. Work teams and volunteers repaired it.
