This $13.5 million project grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) supports the Catholic Relief Services - United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (CRS-USCCB) in implementing a new 12-month nutrition, water, sanitation, hygiene, agriculture, and resilience-building program in Guatemala. The award is part of USAID's Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (FAPO) program, which aims to promote long-term economic growth and further US foreign policy goals through global health, agriculture, and humanitarian assistance initiatives.
Under the grant, CRS-USCCB and its sub-awardees will deliver services to improve the health and resilience of vulnerable families. Specific activities include general food distribution, nutrition interventions, savings and internal lending community groups, adult literacy classes, and farmer field schools. One sub-award supports these services in Guatemala's Atsimo-Andrefana region through a local partner organization. The $13.5M project grant was awarded on May 1, 2021 and runs through October 31, 2022, targeting services in Guatemala City and surrounding areas.
