Rescue a baby from malnutrition in rural Guatemala

Over 70% of the children in rural Guatemala are malnourished.

OUR WHY

We are a non-profit dedicated to the revival of these starving children. 

Through medical care, education, and sanitation projects, we are ending the malnutrition crisis in rural Guatemala. 

Jeff & Karlie Ruiter quit their careers and moved to rural Guatemala to fight the malnutrition crisis

This is the land we drained our savings on.

This is that same land today.

Give Babies Life Every Month

Every child deserves to thrive, yet mothers in rural Guatemala are watching their children starve. 


It takes a village to raise a child.

Our monthly giving community — The Village — fights alongside incredible Guatemalan mothers to revive their babies and walk with them until their children turn five.
