Our Mission

Mil Milagros, Inc.™ partners with schools and families in Guatemala to improve the nutrition, health, education and life prospects of children from impoverished, predominantly Mayan families in the Guatemalan Highlands. Our goal is that all children in Guatemala graduate from sixth grade healthy and able to read. Only 30% of children in Guatemala currently graduate and up to 80% of Mayan children suffer from chronic malnutrition – the sixth highest rate in the world. By feeding the children, we are working to ensure that they complete primary school.
