Association for Education and Health in Central America

One significant step forward toward insuring Ipaltecos of a dry, healthy home for all happened in August. A community meeting organized by us, our partners in Ipala and Habitat for Humanity International met to set priorities for storm water control and seek neighborhood input for things needed to create a sustainable community in the coming years.

At AEHCA we believe each of us has a little light to share out into the world. This last year has been filled with lots of new little lights getting brighter and planning to turn on even more in the year ahead. Review our programs, get updated on what's happened recently and some plans for the future.

Construction started for a new high school classroom. Neither COVID-19, nor inflation could ultimately stop us and our partner school IDEC from moving forward! Anticipated completion January 2024.

Construction starting at IDEC for the first of 2 new classrooms.

Food assistance needs changed significantly over the last year as COVID restrictions lifted and we’ve adjusted too. It’s clear now we need to concentrate on seniors while keeping our eyes and hearts open to other needs too – like among disabled persons.

Food relief moves beyond Covid-19 model.

2023 is the year we moved out into a second Guatemalan community. It's a huge move on its own, but also a big step towards starting work in other parts of Central America too. Our new partner committee is in Olopa, Guatemala near the Hondoran border. We are working together to start a scholarship program in January and then other projects later in 2024.

Expanding into a new location: Welcome Olopa, Guatemala!
