UNICEF estimates that there are over 370,000 orphans in Guatemala. The poverty level is also considerably high in Guatemala. Approximately 70 percent of people in Guatemala live below the poverty level and as a result, children sometimes find themselves abandoned, forced into child labor or victims of neglect and abuse.
We are excited to announce that Lissette Herin, of Guatemalan descent, partner/owner of MOTR GRAFX, is creating and leading a team expanding to Guatemala.
She has witnessed the situation among children in Guatemala firsthand and has taken up this cause as her own. We aim to raise an additional $25k to build two new projects in Guatemala for sex-trafficked and indigenous children who live in orphanages.
