Please remember to FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK, especially as we have a photojournalist from the U.S. heading to Guatemala for a week, the first week of May. David O'Connor has more than 40 years of experience in the nonprofit world in marketing, publishing, and program management. He will be posting daily during his time at Casa Luminarias!
Over 55% of Guatemala’s population lives in poverty, with rural and indigenous communities hit hardest. Many girls marry young, limiting their access to education and opportunity. At Luminarias, we empower them to reimagine their futures, believing that investing in young women builds a stronger nation. In ten years, we have supported nearly 100 girls.
