Yalu Community Partnership
Nestled at the end of a long and winding road, amidst the picturesque rolling hills outside of Sumpango, Guatemala, you'll discover the humble village of Yalu. In Yalu, a harsh reality prevails—nearly all of its villagers endure unimaginable poverty.
Since 2014, El Amor de Patricia has forged a powerful partnership with Yalu, one built upon the pillars of trust, loyalty, and friendship. We take a holistic approach to addressing Yalu's challenges and empower individuals, families, and the community with opportunities. From providing crucial food subsidies to offering the comfort of a home to tackling larger issues like access to clean water and employable skills, we listen attentively to the voices of the people, ensuring that the solutions facilitated are not only impactful but also deeply rooted in the needs and aspirations of the community.
