(UK, 1105241) Browse eventsThe Guatemalan Families Association (GFA) is a charity for families living in Britain who have adopted or are in the process of adopting children from Guatemala. Our primary goal is to support internationally adopted Guatemalan children to connect with their Guatemalan roots. We also support two Guatemalan NGO's. The history of violence against indigenous populations, natural disasters, poverty, and illiteracy can best be dealt with in partnership with Guatemalans. Behrhorst projects promote self-sufficiency, foster community development, and enhance the education and health of people working to make a better life for their children and communities. Pueblo a Pueblo projects respond to the devastating poverty and deprivation in targeted indigenous villages. Projects work to build the community’s ability to thrive on its own while achieving health, food security, and education for local families. Many GFA families have visited the villages where these two charities are working. They have seen the difference our contributions make. Together, we will make the struggle to survive and be productive a little easier. Charity No: 1105241 Find out more Website http://www.gfa-uk.org/drupal/

(UK, 1121561A) Browse events"They bring the hospice to our home" When a child has a serious condition and may not live into adulthood, families face an extremely difficult time. One of the difficulties is when the child has to leave the comfort, security and proximity of the family home for treatment or respite at a hospital or hospice. So, chYps offers a different approach to palliative and end of life care. Instead of the child coming to the hospice, the hospice comes to them. This allows the child and Mum, Dad, brothers and sisters to stay together. chYps offers a seamless service of care for children and young people, age 0 - 19 years.
