Centro Infantil Bellota, the 'Acorn Childcare Centre', provides day-care for Guatemalan children aged 2 - 6. The Centre offers support to families in need, particularly to single mothers who work but cannot afford to pay for childcare. It aims to ensure that children's basic needs are met and to encourage active learning during these formative pre-school years. We hope that the support they receive at the Centre will have a positive impact throughout their lives.
Each of GlobalGiving’s nonprofit partners is required to send quarterly donor reports detailing the impact of their work. Here are some of their recent updates:
