Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Hands for Peacemaking Foundation's mission is to assist people living in extreme poverty in the NW Highland area of rural Guatemala to become self-sufficient. This is accomplished through training in agriculture, establishment or improvement of water supply, sanitation, cooking methods and building schools for the youth.

  • Volunteer groups from North America journey to Guatemala to help rural communities. One of the key ways they provide assistance is by installing Aler Stoves, which are highly efficient for cooking and heating. In addition, these groups also construct one-room schoolhouses in the villages. They also help install water systems, which consist of 2500-liter water tanks, catchment and filter systems. This helps ensure that the villagers have access to clean and safe drinking water. All of these efforts are important for improving the health and quality of life for the villagers.

    Expenses $212,111 · Revenue $41,494

  • Construct school buildings,provide student desks with chairs, teacher desks with chairs, and whiteboards for each classroom constructed. Distribute teaching and school supplies to various villages and schools.

    Expenses $271,055 · Revenue $53,024

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
