The Escuela Taller Nino Obrero project is a Guatemalan, non-governmental organization. It was founded on March 14th, 1993 by Carlos Toledo and it is located in Antigua. The purpose of the program is to provide education, nutrition and recreation to children who come from families with little means. The goal of the program is to instill good hygiene, good habits, and to keep youth away from the dangers of the streets. The Escuela Taller Niño Obrero supplies an alternative to life on the streets for at risk children. Children of poor families normally are not able to attend school due to lack of funds and instead need to work in order to help their families with money for food and rent. |

http://www.semillasdeamor.org Semillas de Esperanza was founded at the beginning of 2005 by the Department of Social Construction Work of the Government of Jocotenango (Departamento de Obras Sociales de la Municipalidad de Jocotenango (DOSMJ)) which works together with Intecap. But it was not until February 14, 2006 that the offices were opened with the help of Mayor, Francisco Javier Fuentes, as well as members from the Honorable Municipal Council. Semillas de Esperanza is located in the Jocotenango Municipal Building, 10 minutes from Antigua by bus. The main goal and purpose of the project is to offer opportunities to women in different areas and occupations. These opportunities allow the women to start their own businesses, which in turn helps to improve the well being of their family, as well as their community. These opportunities are important especially for women who have little to no formal education and other means to further themselves. Women who participate in the program also receive a bag of food, which feeds their entire family, on a monthly basis. |
