Welcome to Start with a Smile Project !

All Children need love, kindness and a real chance to develop. Poverty is the Enemy!

We invite you to paint smiles and improve the education of children in Guatemala. Our project Start with a Smile Project is nonprofit, apolitical, non-religious, non-governmental depends on the continued generosity of our national and international supporters. We seek: dignity, love and solidarity for boys and girls.

The Start with a Smile Project supports educational projects throughout the year by collecting school materials and cash donations so that young people can attend high school and also we are collecting gifts for Christmas.

Since 2015 the communities of El Dormido and Las Delicias in southern Guatemala are our current focus. These communities have many basic needs for water, food, education and housing. The children are loving and lovable. The parents do the best they can with what they have, which isn’t much.

Your gift provides help, gives hope and makes a better tomorrow for someone who needs your support and love.

Education is the best way to out of poverty. Actually, there are many regions that children are out of school.
