March 31, 2020

February 19, 2020
By Harriette Rothwell

Since starting Pionero in 2018 however, I realized that the problem isn’t necessarily that donors are sloppy when making giving decisions or even that better-resourced nonprofits were thrashing the little guys through slick marketing.

Today, we recognize World Day Against Child Labour. 
Many Guatemalan children are still forced to work to contribute to their family's income. These children experience arduous working conditions, low pay, and diminished opportunities to break the cycle of poverty.
We're glad that several Guatemalan nonprofits are working to provide easy access to education - something that will truly help keep these kids stay in the classroom and out of the workplace. 
#worlddayagainstchildlabour
Why Do Guatemalan Children Work? ✨
Although public education is free in #Guatemala, it isn't really. 
Parents are still expected to pay for uniforms, transportation, and school supplies. These costs can really mount up especially with multiple children.
Furthermore, in rural areas, schools are often far away and lack sanitary facilities and electricity. 
So, parents often take their children out of school so they have help to financially support the family
Thankfully, several Guatemalan nonprofits are working to provide children with affordable, quality education.

Guatemala has one of the world's highest rates of child malnutrition - nearly 50% of children under 5 suffer from chronic malnutrition.
These high rates of child malnutrition in Guatemala are mostly due to structural inequality. ✨
After hurricanes Eta and Iota in 2020, and prices increasing due to the global economy, this situation is likely to worsen.
Luckily, there are many Guatemalan nonprofits that run health programs dedicated to preventing chronic malnutrition from developing or worsening further.
