Higher Church & School Attendance Because of Water!

We wanted to share with a pretty awesome update we received from Ndibai community!  The water project has been running smoothly even with increased water demand reported during the dry season. The community is excited about the project as the water is available at all times and they ensure that water sales are properly managed.

This project has helped to alleviate poverty and improve the community member’s health, education, and spiritual matters. There has been increased church attendance among women and children as they don’t have to miss church going for longer distances in search of water.  They have improved in health status with marked reduction in cases of diarrheal diseases. Ndibai Primary School pupils have access to clean water and no longer have to carry drinking water from home to the school and those children no longer miss school because they need to search of water. This has resulted in increased enrollment in school and improved school performance. The water has kept the Foundations for Farming demo farm green, thus providing fresh vegetables to the community members.

So many great things are happening because of the Ndibai water project! Thank you to everyone who partners with and supports Ndibai. Your generosity is so clearly making a HUGE impact in many lives.

Dreams of starting a business, improving a home, or investing in a child’s education often remain out of reach. Children, youth, adults, and elders alike face the reality of limited financial stability and few opportunities to imagine a different path forward.

A Childhood at Risk

Deep in the mountains of the municipality of Unión Cantinil, Guatemala, in communities like Las Lomas and Villa Linda, more than just classes are being lost. At stake is the dignity of childhood, struggling to learn under conditions no one should accept as normal.

Children arrive at school hungry and tired. Parents, though giving their all, often cannot help with homework because they themselves had limited educational opportunities. Overcrowded classrooms, too few teachers, and a system that struggles to respond make learning an uphill battle.
