GuatemalaUPAVIM

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.

Comments from around the World
This work is not just so that our families can eat. A certain percentage of the income goes to improving the community. For example, when the schools needed desks, we gave a donation. We also get frequent requests for other kinds of economic aid. We can’t solve the problems ourselves, but we try to put our grain of salt in everything. - Manuel Alvarez - UPA, Mexico.
