Migration isn't something we talk about often, but it's an inextricable part of life in rural Guatemala. When we go to schools, when we visit homes, children tell us that their relatives are in the U.S. We hear from mothers that their husbands decided to migrate to provide for their families. Many of our staff members considered making the same choice, until they were offered a job with us.
Our communities in Guatemala continue to face challenges: rising inflation and cost of living have limited what families can provide not just at the dinner table but in terms of school fees and basic needs. But because of Mil Milagros, change is taking root: mothers can continue to learn, their children have a chance to grow up healthy and educated, and families receive the support they need to thrive.
