Why Sponsor a Child in Guatemala?

SPONSOR A CHILD IN GUATEMALA

Join us in sponsoring children in San Marcos, Guatemala

We'd Love Your Help!

With your help, we can make sure every child at the Amiguitos del Rey and Corona de Gloria Child Development Centers have a loving sponsor. These precious children are already receiving medical, nutrition, education and spiritual assistance at their centers, but unlike the other children they lack a sponsor. They eagerly await the day they receive their first letter, and we hope that letter comes from you!

Where Do These Numbers Come From?

In 2008, Dr.Bruce Wydick, Professor of Economics and International Studies at the University of San Francisco set out to determine the impact of international child sponsorship.

Dr. Wydick’s study focused on 1,860 formerly sponsored children from 16 Compassion development centers. These once sponsored children were compared against 3,704 of their unsponsored siblings. To ensure the data was unbiased, his team also studied the lives of 2,136 non-supported families in the communities of these development centers and 2,444 individuals from nearby villages where Compassion support was unavailable at the time of research.

By the end of the study, data was collected on more than 10,000 individuals in six developing countries. 207 international sponsorship programs exist today. Compassion® was the only organization to provide information to Dr. Wydick.
