ProChapina’s Elderly Care Program provides support, dignity, and companionship to seniors in vulnerable conditions. We offer food assistance, basic medical care, home visits, and emotional support to ensure our elders are not forgotten and can live with respect, comfort, and connection to their community.

Caring for Those Who Cared for Us

Empowering vulnerable communities in Guatemala through education, healthcare access, and dignified housing solutions.

**In rural Guatemala, progress often comes down to one missing piece**: a computer, a clean stove, a safe roof, a scholarship. **ProChapina exists to provide those missing links** — practical tools that open real opportunities for children, women, and families to rebuild their lives with dignity.

**Rooted in community**, every project is designed to solve a specific barrier to wellbeing. Here's how we’re making change — and what it takes to do it:

The 7 Projects Powering Change

1. Digital Learning Centers

Opening access to technology for children and women through computer-equipped classrooms, building digital literacy and future-ready skills.
**Annual budget needed: $10,000**
Includes laptops, desks, printers, internet access, and tech support.

2. Eco-Stove Initiative

Distributing clean-burning industrial stoves to reduce health risks and help families start small, sustainable businesses.
**Cost per industrial stove: $300**
**Annual target: 50 stoves | Total: $15,000**
Each stove helps a family cook safely and often launch a microbusiness.

3. Artisan Workshops

Training women and youth to create handmade crafts — eco-bags, bracelets, and dolls — turning creativity into economic independence.
**Annual budget needed: $6,000**
Covers instructor stipends, supplies, and seed capital for artisans.

4. Child Sponsorship Program

Matching donors with children to fund education, reduce child labor, and provide vital school support.
**$45/month per child | 60 children | Annual total: $32,400**
Covers tuition, uniforms, school supplies, transportation, and mentorship.

5. Educational Scholarships

Helping high school and university students from low-income backgrounds pursue their academic goals without interruption.
**$750/year per student | 25 students | Total: $18,750**
Supports tuition, learning materials, internet access, and exams.

6. Health & Wellness Program

Providing free medical, dental, and nutritional care to underserved communities, including mobile clinics and access to medication.
**Annual budget: $12,000**
Includes medical supplies, healthcare professional fees, and rural outreach.

7. Safe Housing Support

Improving or building dignified homes — bathrooms with hot water, clean floors, and secure structures.
**$3,500 per family | 12 homes/year | Annual total: $42,000**
Focuses on families in extreme poverty, especially single mothers and children.

“Our bathroom used to be a health hazard. Now, we have hot water, space, and dignity — thanks to ProChapina.”

Our Most Ambitious Dream: The ProChapina Community Home

Beyond individual programs, our greatest and most heartfelt goal is to build a **permanent community home** — a dedicated, multi-use facility where education, healing, empowerment, and belonging come together.

This **Cultural and Educational Center** will include:

- Computer labs for students and digital literacy
- Artisan classrooms and co-creation space
- Childcare and early learning area
- Community kitchen for training and nutrition
- Mental health and wellness room
- Multi-purpose classrooms and mentorship hubs

**Estimated cost for land, construction, and setup: $125,000**
This home will serve as an anchor for generations — a living legacy of dignity, education, and opportunity.

**Every donation matters. Every project restores dignity. Every supporter becomes a part of something greater than charity — a movement of lasting change.**
Together, we are not just filling gaps. We are building the future.
