Egg-cellent! A Chicken Delivery in Guatemala

Posted on January 11, 2024

Just recently, LWB was happy to be able to partner with a Guatemalan charity called Tob’anik K’iche on a very special project. Our aim was to help to provide essential nutrition to the children in Lemoa, an impoverished village in rural Guatemala. Many of the children in this community are malnourished, coming from impoverished families with […]

20 Years of Hope: Jennifer

Posted on November 30, 2023

We first learned of little Jennifer during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. Schools in Cambodia were shut down then, and LWB began doing Emergency Food Relief to help families in many poor, rural areas of Cambodia. During these deliveries, our staff met Jennifer’s mother, Elva, who was struggling to provide for eight small children. Their […]

20 Years of Hope: Hayden

Posted on November 2, 2023

In early 2017, tiny Hayden came into the care of our former healing home in Uganda needing considerable TLC. He was sickly, weighing a scant 5 kilograms (11 pounds) at 13 months of age, and his parents were nowhere to be found. The nannies in the home got right to work loving on this precious […]

20 Years of Hope: Rena and Her Brothers

Posted on October 19, 2023

Ten-year-old Rena was worried. She’d been left in charge of her three little brothers for over a week while her mom went searching for work.

Cambodia’s Education System: History, Challenges, and LWB’s Innovative Approach

Posted on September 19, 2023

In the context of world education, Cambodia’s education system has a unique history that shows its resilience. From the early influences of the French colonization era to the current state-driven structure, the education system has undergone significant transformation.

20 Years of Hope: Twins Max and Matthew

Posted on July 20, 2023

In early September of 2010, a rural orphanage in Henan province called us about a tiny, five-pound baby who had recently been abandoned. Max, as he came to be called, had been found with a life-threatening intestinal condition that often requires surgery within the first 48 hours of life. We knew there was no way […]

20 Years of Hope: Janelle

Posted on June 8, 2023

Fourteen-year-old Janelle’s background story is far too common in the poor, rural areas of Guatemala. Her mother abandoned the family several years ago, leaving Janelle in the care of her impoverished grandmother. Although Janelle had no access to education for three full years, she dreamt of being able to return to school to improve her […]

20 Years of Hope: Lee

Posted on May 4, 2023

In 2019, a charity working in the child trafficking field asked for our assistance in helping a 10-year-old boy named Lee escape his current situation. Our team in Cambodia tried their best to find relatives he could safely return to, but they were unsuccessful. Once all avenues for family reunification were exhausted, Lee was placed […]

Our CEO, Amy Eldridge, recently returned from visiting our programs in India and Cambodia.

Can you tell us about the situation on […]

Help a Child in Guatemala
