Young volunteers from REMAR Guatemala walk the streets of the historic center, delivering food and spiritual support to homeless people. This charitable work has been part of the NGO’s humanitarian efforts since 1992.
A Support Program for the Most Vulnerable
In the heart of Guatemala City’s historic center, a noble initiative is bringing relief and hope to those most in need. The “Angels of the Night” program, led by the NGO REMAR Guatemala, mobilizes committed young volunteers to offer food and spiritual support to the homeless and vulnerable, especially during the cold and rainy nights of these months.
Humanitarian and Spiritual Aid During Guatemala’s Cold Nights
Each night, REMAR volunteers walk the streets of Zone 1, one of the areas most affected by extreme poverty, delivering hot meals and comforting drinks to people wandering the sidewalks and plazas. These people include not only those struggling with drug addiction or alcoholism, but also families with children who, due to various circumstances, are forced to live on the streets.
More Than Just Food: Words of Hope
What sets the “Angels of the Night” apart is that they don’t just offer material support. In addition to food, the volunteers share words of faith and hope, providing spiritual support that is equally valued. People living on the streets find in these young volunteers a source of comfort and hope amid adversity.
A Global Initiative
The “Angels of the Night” program is part of REMAR’s global initiative, which has been active for many years in various countries, always with the same purpose: to serve the neediest in areas most affected by poverty and social exclusion. In Guatemala, the work of these volunteers is vital in bringing relief and comfort to those who fight to survive on the streets night after night.
Solidarity and Love for One’s Neighbor in Action
The actions of these young volunteers are not only received with gratitude but also represent a beacon of hope for many people in desperate situations. The combination of food and words of encouragement becomes a temporary refuge for those who face the harshness of street life daily.
“Angels of the Night” remains a reminder that, in the midst of hardship, there is always room for solidarity and love for others.
REMAR Guatemala: 32 Years of Solidarity and Hope for the Most Vulnerable
Since 1992, the NGO REMAR has been a beacon of hope for thousands of Guatemalans at risk. Over these 32 years, REMAR Guatemala has worked tirelessly to help people affected by addiction, homeless families, street children, and other vulnerable groups, providing comprehensive support to those most in need.
Support for People at Risk
REMAR Guatemala focuses on helping people in extreme risk situations, such as those struggling with drug addiction, alcoholism, violence, and poverty. Through various programs and rehabilitation centers, the organization has provided not only treatment and medical assistance but also a comprehensive approach that seeks the social and family reintegration of those affected.
Street Children: A Future with Hope
From the start, REMAR has made a special effort to help street children, a serious problem affecting many cities in Guatemala. These children, exposed to abuse, violence, and neglect, find a safe haven in REMAR homes. The NGO not only takes care of their physical well-being but also provides them with a home where all their basic needs are met, along with education, care, and values training, with the goal of helping them build a better future.
Rehabilitation and Reintegration for People with Addictions
One of the most important pillars of REMAR Guatemala’s work is its efforts in rehabilitating people with addiction problems. For over three decades, they have implemented recovery programs that focus not only on physical detoxification but also provide spiritual and emotional support, helping people find a renewed sense of purpose in their lives. These programs have been key to transforming hundreds of lives that would otherwise have been trapped in a cycle of hopelessness.
Support Programs for Vulnerable Families and Communities
REMAR doesn’t only focus on individuals but also supports entire families and communities living in extreme poverty. Through the distribution of food, clothing, and other basic resources, the organization seeks to ease the burden on those who struggle to survive daily. In addition, REMAR promotes community development projects, such as the creation of educational centers and training programs, offering opportunities to those excluded from the system.
Three Decades of Charitable Work and Transformation
Over these 32 years of continuous work, REMAR Guatemala has been an open door for thousands of people who have found in the organization a place to start over. The commitment of its volunteers and collaborators has allowed the NGO to continue growing and expanding its reach, multiplying its impact on the lives of those who need it most.
