Emergency Food Relief for Ryan's Place Families
Zacapa, Guatemala
Ryan's Rays is working to deliver emergency food relief to families receiving services at Ryan's Place in Guatemala.
A severe Super El Niño has plunged Central America’s Dry Corridor into a historic humanitarian crisis. A 33% rainfall deficit has wiped out up to 80% of local maize and bean crops, food reserves have run out, prices are soaring, and acute child malnutrition is up 40% from typical years.
Our $10,000 goal will provide fortified emergency food bags to approximately 200 Ryan’s Place families. Each $50 bag supplies a household with high-calorie staples—corn, beans, rice and nutritional supplements—to sustain the family and protect vulnerable children from severe malnutrition while they continue their therapy and care.
