Hands For Peacemaking Foundation

How You Can Help

There are a number of ways you can make a difference in the lives of people in extreme poverty. Listed below are some ways to help or you can support the work of Hands For Peacemaking with a undesignated donation.

Hands For Peacemaking Foundation partners with villagers when they assist with a project, sponsor a stove, help a villager establish a business or provide a water. The investment the villagers make helps create value and promotes self-sufficiency.

Access to clean water is an ongoing problem

in the villages. Children are constantly sick from drinking contaminated water.

Sponsoring a stove for just $150.00 helps children grow up without constantly breathing smoke

Villagers that are living in extreme poverty don’t want a “hand out” but instead want a “hand up”. Micro enterprise loans have helped women start business enterprises that give their families the extra income they need to feed their family and get an education for their children.

Women, with the assistance of HFPF have established businesses in candle making, chicken raising and embroidery work. Your donation can help change a familys’ future.

It is critical that the young people of rural Guatemala get an education. Often the conditions they have for learning are very poor. HFPF began building school desks a few years ago and now have supplied over 7000 school desks and employ 9 workers to do

the desk construction.

The Aller Center is critical for the Hands For Peacemaking

organization’s ability to provide skill training and jobs for

the people of rural Guatemala. Scheduled for completion in

2009, donations to build the Center will honor the legacy

of Leeon Aller M.D. who with his wife Virginia, founded

the organization in 1985.
