<p>Education For The Children run a fantastic project in Jocotenango, Guatemala; the School of Hope. It offers children from some of Guatemala's poorest backgrounds the opportunity of an otherwise unachievable education.</p>
<p>For Guatemalans earning less than $2 a day, child malnutrition ranks as the 4th worst in the Northern Hemisphere. Thankfully the school project doesn't just educate, it provides the children with two nutritious meals a day, access to healthcare, pychological support and much much more.</p>
<p>Here are some other statistics to digest:</p>

<li style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">In Guatemala almost 60% of children of school age do not attend school</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Only 5% of Guatemalan children enter high school</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Over 56% of Guatemalans live in poverty</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">24% of Guatemalans live on the equivalent of $1 per day</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">49% of children under the age of 5 suffer from chronic malnutrition</li>
</ul>
