2024 Building Repairs at the Clinic in Santa Elena, Guatemala
The funds allocated to the Sisters in Santa Elena (Clinic and Orphanage) were almost completely used to pay for a new roof on the Clinic.
It is OCIMA’s mission to help improve the health, medical care and education of the poor, primarily in Guatemala and Ecuador. While we are providing support with food, shelter and medicines, education is key for both children and adults.

Together help us fight poverty. We can make a difference.
