Building Bright Futures and our Mission 13 Initiative Supporting Matthew 2540’s mission in Guatemala
Campaign Overview
We are excited to announce our upcoming capital campaign aimed at transforming our vision into reality! With a campaign timeline of October 15 to December 29, 2024, we are embarking on a crucial initiative to fund the construction of state-of-the-art classrooms for La Promesa School (the Promise). Phase One will see the completion of classrooms for grades 1-6, daycare facilities, and preprimary classrooms on our recently acquired land in Chimaltenango, Guatemala. Our architectural drawing above shows the ultimate completed facility. The children we serve are impoverished, mostly raised by single mothers, who otherwise would have no opportunity to acquire any level of education much less one that will allow them to break their family’s cycle of extreme poverty which has led many to be abused and lacking in a solid moral foundation based on Christian values.
Project Goals
. Construct Classrooms for Grades 1-6: Provide an inspiring, safe, nurturing, learning environment.
. Build Preprimary Classrooms: Lay the foundation for lifelong learning and development.
. Create Daycare Facilities: Offer quality care and early education for the youngest entrusted to our care
Budget Breakdown
. Total Project Budget: $450,000
. Funds Raised to Date: $120,000
. Funding Needed: $330,000
