Miracles in Action seeks out under-served pockets of need in rural Guatemala and we research projects that focus on education, vocational training, nutrition and sustainable development. We select projects that achieve long-term results, improve quality of life, and allow truly impoverished people to help themselves. We believe in working in partnership with poor Guatemalan people, giving them a hand up, instead of a hand-out. We also strongly believe that education is the surest way out of poverty, and so devote much of our efforts in that direction.
Accomplishments & Progress:- Miracles In Action has built 57 schools, installed 25 water systems, established 9 libraries and computer centers, provided over 1000 water filters for potable water, and installed thousand of safe, vented stoves. During Covid-19 we have been supporting artisans we work with through direct food relief.
