On this all-women trip, you will serve with the Orphan Outreach programs and partner ministries in and around Guatemala City. Guatemala’s poverty rate is the highest in remote areas with little access to quality education and good nutrition. 5,000 girls under the age of 15 become pregnant every year, and 8 out of 10 women are victims of abuse or exploitation. 75% of all children attending school in Guatemala will drop out after sixth grade, and only 4% will graduate from high school. The mission will cost approximately $2500 including airfare. There are scholarships that can be applied for as well to help cover this cost.
Dates: September 5 – September 10
