This important project was developed to fill a great need in the community. Families desperately needed an affordable and safe childcare option so they could gain employment or work on their land knowing their children were safely looked after, and being educated. This program was developed to ensure these disadvantaged children were cared for and received a quality education. Volunteers enrolling in this amazing childcare program will be working with small children under the age of 12 from poor and underprivileged families, providing day to day care as well as spending time playing with the children, having fun and working towards their development. It is essential that volunteers are enthusiastic and flexible as this program needs motivated volunteers who love caring for children and are willing to dedicate themselves to a number of tasks to enable the successful running of the centre.

Goals of this Project:

  • Provide free childcare to marginalised families in the Antigua area
  • Provide a fun, quality educational experience for children to allow them to thrive
  • Improve the future prospects of some of Guatemala’s most impoverished people, and help them to break the poverty cycle
  • Provide a cross-cultural experience for all involved in the project
