Guatemala: UPAVIM

UPAVIM, or United for a Better Life (Unidos Para Una Vida Mejor), is a craft marketing program which was started to help provide funds for a children's clinic in La Esperanza, a squalid squatter's settlement on the outskirts of Guatemala City. The clinic is run by the mothers and served by a volunteer doctor, dentist, and lab technician. The clinic now offers laboratory testing, an infant weight program, dental care, and a scholarship fund that provides tuition, school supplies, and lunch money for selected school children from the settlement.
