The several hundred children assisted by The GOD'S CHILD Project currently fall into twenty-one different "categories". In general, though, they are children who are (a) exceptionally poor and continue to live with their own families, and (b) older, orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise hurt children who can no longer live with their natural families.
Forty percent of the children in The GOD'S CHILD Project are girls; sixty percent are boys. While there are very few infants and young adults, most of the children range in ages from five to sixteen. Seventy-five percent of the children are mestizo (mixed Mayan Indian and Latino blood), and twenty five percent are Mayan Indian. The children served by The GOD'S CHILD Project come from across Guatemala.
