Caras Alegres

Where kids can be kids. 

Since 2004 we support the children of our community in Quetzaltenango. With our different projects we create a safe space where kids can be kids. This is important because at home they have to live in poverty and are neglected. That's why together with our staff in Guatemala and a lot of volunteers we continue in our mission to create brighter futures for children, one initiative at a time. 

 

Together, we can continue to make a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most.
