Our 10,000th Surgery
Many children in Guatemala lack access to essential surgical care and the need continues to grow.
Be a part of the solution. Give the gift of healing today!
In Guatemala 61% of people live below the poverty line, most making less than $1.25 a day. On top of that, Guatemala also has the highest level of chronic malnutrition in Central and South America.
After 13 years serving Guatemala, and 160 Medical Mission Trips, we hit our 10,000th surgery milestone in September 2024.
There are still countless children in need that suffer from birth and lack access to critical surgical care to get the help they need.
You can change that.
The Shalom Foundation exists to bring healing and hope to underprivileged children in Guatemala. We provide free, life-changing medical and nutritional care to those who need it most.
For over 20 years, our donors have helped us serve Guatemala’s most vulnerable. With our state-of-the-art medical facility and an incredible team of local staff, we are able to provide desperately needed surgeries to children under 18. Our mission is to give these kids healing through quality nutrition and health care, giving them hope for their future!
