Our mission is simple.
Mission
We provide clean food & water to those in need. By doing this we believe we are impacting many different aspects of a person's life: education, health, growth, happiness.
Through PROJECT SIMPLE's Community Centers we are able to create a safe space where meals are served and those in the community that are in most need can come together to share their problems and help each other out.
Our services focus on assisting people in communities living with bad nutrition or no nutrition at all, those that cannot or have a hard time providing for themselves (the elderly, children, and those who are sick or have special needs).
Our History
In 2013 founders Nix (from the United States) and Cortez (from Argentina) first visited Guatemala and met Maria Teresa and her husband Gaspar (from Chajul, Guatemala). Since the first encounter the four became fast friends with a shared vision to help the widowed and elderly women, and the poorest children, in their community of Chajul. For four years, since 2014, the two couples created different programs in Chajul together before venturing into PROJECT SIMPLE: Guatemala in 2018. Maria Teresa and Gaspar are pictured to the right with five of their six children. To learn more about Nix and Cortez please visit: www.thestringproject.org.
Current Location
PROJECT SIMPLE works in communities where people are lacking the basic needs (food, shelter, and clean water) those living in extreme material poverty without access to a nutritional daily meal and clean water. Currently located in: San Gaspar Chajul, Guatemala.

Vision
We are 100% voluntarily organized & run! Every penny donated goes DIRECTLY to those we serve.
Buy Local, Made Locally, For Locals
Since 2018 a total of 35,000 meals have been served. The project is managed and run by locals. They are the ones who live in Chajul, know the needs of their community, and know the best way to help and serve them. Volunteers from North America collaborate with the leaders from Chajul who wanted to take on this project to make PROJECT SIMPLE: Guatemala's Community Center possible.
