Overview
For over 35 years AMG Guatemala has been sharing the love of Christ in Guatemala. Currently assisting more than 8,000 children, their families and communities, with education, health, spiritual guidance, clothing, vocational assistance and a lot of love!
AMG International Guatemala exists to
provide a clear vision of the future for young people with barriers to
development, through a network of 28 educational projects (schools and student
formation centers), healthcare centers, vocational services and other
development programs. This is
accomplished through the efforts of 550 dedicated Guatemalan workers, strong
partnerships with local churches and other key actors.
AMG's presence in 30 communities
across the population belt of Guatemala makes it the perfect
facilitator/partner in solid development work.
Thousands of children face the overwhelming challenges that exist in
urban slums and desperate rural communities.
AMG works to keep children in their families and their own context by
providing a safe place to learn, provision of basic needs and the loving
assistance they need to overcome the threats that come from brokenness,
violence, abuse, gang activity and lack of opportunity. Restoring young people to the image of God
with purpose and vocation is our ultimate objective.
