A Snapshot of Women's and Children's
Health in Guatemala

Guatemala has some of the poorest outcomes for maternal and infant health across all of Latin America. One of the largest contributing factors to these poor outcomes is the inequality that exists between the rural and urban communities and the indigenous and non-indigenous populations.

How We Help

The Bethany Center is a ministry that serves the poorest of the poor — particularly women and children — in Guatemala.

For more than 5 years now, the Bethany Center has supported the women and children of rural Guatemala by offering: hearty meals, medical care and attention, education for young children, training programs that improve women's ability to earn a living, space for Guatemalan families to socialize and build community, and spiritual, mental, and physical refreshment.

Here are just a few of our projects at the Bethany Center:

Our school was inaugurated on October 5, 2019 and classes are set to start in January 2020.
Our soup kitchens feed approximately 200 children, ages 4-14, daily.
Our maternity center serves mothers and their infants and children on a daily basis.

Consider helping the women and children of Guatemala by giving the gift of health.
