The Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration has awarded a $1,500,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Western Hemisphere (CFDA 19.518) to Save The Children Federation, Inc. The grant, awarded on September 30, 2023, aims to increase access to emergency education, legal assistance, and gender-based violence services by ensuring refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants in Guatemala receive protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions with a women-centered approach.

As part of this effort, Save The Children International has been awarded a sub-grant of undisclosed amount to improve the safety and well-being of refugees, asylum seekers, vulnerable migrants, and community members in the Jutiapa and Chiquimula regions of Guatemala. The sub-grant will help beneficiaries access legal services, improve access to gender-based violence services and mental health/psychosocial support, establish child-friendly spaces, and provide cash assistance.
