Your Support and Generosity

Although UPAVIM supports its school and daycare 100% through the sale of its crafts, our other programs rely on generous donations from people who believe in what we are doing and want to help. We gratefully accept donations and are extremely appreciative of any contributions to our programs. UPAVIM has received support from numerous churches, individuals, stores, non-profit organizations, and foundations since the cooperative began in 1988. All donations are tax-deductible in the U.S.A. through our non-profit registered 501(c)(3) UPAVIM Community Development Foundation. Your entire donation goes to our programs as the Foundation has no administrative or overhead expenses. (UCDF)

UPAVIM’s two most urgent needs at this time are:

1. Support Completion of the Annex Building

Our goal is to complete the 4th floor of our Annex. This pressing need is due to the children being extremely overcrowded in the school and it has become impossible for our teachers to use their alternative education methods properly due to lack of space. This is what makes our school unique in Guatemala and extremely successful so we feel a dire need to complete this last floor and ease up space in the building. In turn it will provide more space for not only the school but the library, computers for the children and the future Senior Center that will provide activities and a noon meal 3 mornings a week. We need to raise $140,000 to make all of this possible.

2. Support for the Education Programs

Despite other pressing needs, UPAVIM still appreciates donations for our English and two scholarship programs from individuals, and we thank the many friends and former volunteers who continue to give generously in support of these projects as well as the library. These all depend entirely on international support.
