79% of Mayan girls do not finish primary school.
Only 30% of Guatemalan children finish the sixth grade.
“The children ate so well at school that they gained
the weight considered normal for their age.”
Guatemala suffers from the fourth highest rate
of child malnutrition in the world.
Nearly 70% of Mayan children – the children served
by Mil Milagros – are malnourished.
“The meals have helped us a lot to be smarter. We
feel stronger than before and very happy.”
“When we are fed at school, we have great motivation
to continue studying and coming to school.”
The Guatemalan government devotes less than $9.00 per child per year for books, educational materials, and school supplies.
