College Scholarship Fund: Inspiring Excellence  Our College Scholarship Fund is a competitive program that challenges students to demonstrate their commitment to academic and personal growth. Applicants are asked to prepare and submit a comprehensive College Scholarship Application. Scholarships may be awarded to those who present outstanding applications and have shown the determination and skills needed to succeed in college.  This fund is both a challenge and an opportunity for young adults raised in our program to rise to the occasion, prove their readiness, and pursue higher education with purpose. Through this initiative, we aim to encourage ambition, reward excellence, and open the door to brighter futures.

Mission: Guatemala Mission: Guatemala is a project dedicated to empowering rural women by providing access to small microloans. These loans allow women to invest in sewing, livestock, looms, and gardening, giving them the opportunity to start and grow small businesses that generate sustainable income. By supporting these women, we help them provide for their families, improve local food security, and strengthen their communities economically and socially. Through the project, women receive not only financial support but also guidance and training in managing their businesses, ensuring that their investments have the greatest possible impact. Your generosity enables these women to gain independence, build skills, and create a lasting legacy of opportunity for themselves and their children. Your contribution can make a tangible difference at any level: Helper — $50, Sustainer — $100, Builder — $250, Advocate — $500, Visionary — $1,000. Each level represents a deeper investment in transforming lives, whether by supporting children at our orphanage or giving women the tools and resources they need to succeed.

Our Post Program Support project is designed to help continue providing for those with serve even after they have graduated from our program. Our goal is to continue to ensure their well being, have a safe and stable living environment and are receiving valuable care and support. Our staff will work to see them into a life of healthy relationships and independence. We will provide a therapy program as needed as well as life skills training, including daily living skills, budget and money management, nutrition, decision making and goal planning, and educational development.

Seeds of Sustenance, a gardening initiative in Guatemala, works to improve food security, education, and community resilience. By creating and supporting gardens at the orphanage, school, and local communities, we provide lasting systems people can manage and sustain. Families often face seasonal food shortages, and children’s health and learning can suffer. Through gardens and training, we help communities move from dependence to self-reliance and ensure a steady supply of nutritious food. What We’re Doing Garden construction & infrastructure: Raised beds, compost, irrigation, soil prep, and pest protection. Training & capacity building: Workshops for community members, school staff, and caregivers. Community extension: Support for home and communal gardens, seed kits, and follow-up. Ongoing support & monitoring: Check-ins, refresher training, and yield tracking. Nutrition & education integration: Students learn garden science and healthy eating; surplus supports meals and sharing. Who Benefits Children at the orphanage and school gain healthier meals and experiential learning. Local families acquire practical skills and resources to grow food at home. The environment benefits from sustainable practices like composting and soil conservation. Impact & Goals Establish 12 new gardens within the first year. Train 200 households in sustainable gardening by year two. Supplement approximately 10,000 meals annually with garden produce. Create a network of local “garden ambassadors.” How You Can Help Your support provides tools, seeds, soil amendments, irrigation components, and training. Every gift plants a seed of lasting change in Guatemala.

Vocational Training Scholarship Fund Opens New Doors The Vocational Training Scholarship Fund provides opportunities for older students in Indonesia to pursue specialized training and education. Many of these students aspire to careers in fields such as teaching, mechanics, hospitality, and technology—skills that will allow them to provide for themselves and give back to their communities. Through this fund, we cover tuition, materials, and essential expenses. Every gift makes higher education possible for young adults who otherwise would not have access to it.
