What We Do
A replicable, family-preservation model built on three pillars.
Cadaniño serves vulnerable children and families through afterschool programs at our Community Impact Centers in Guatemala — meeting physical, educational, emotional, and spiritual needs while pointing them to Christ.
The Three Pillars
Restoring hope through a holistic approach.
We hire local teachers from within the communities where we work, then teach, train, and empower them to serve. Together they build bridges that transform lives.
Spiritual Formation
Christ-centered children's and youth ministry, missions, service, and discipleship that help students build a personal relationship with God.

Academic Reinforcement
Targeted tutoring, computer training, IT skills, STEM robotics, and a reading initiative that help students excel in Guatemala's under-resourced schools.

Family Strengthening
Nutritious meals, home visits, emergency food bags, family days, parent ministry, devotionals, and outreaches that meet families' critical nutritional and emotional needs.

A model designed to be replicated.

A Bridge from Present Reality to a Hopeful Future
Cadaniño serves as a bridge, enabling vulnerable and at-risk children in Guatemala to move from their present reality—marked by poverty, crime, and limited opportunity—to a hopeful future.
Built on Three Core Pillars
Our approach is built upon Spiritual Formation, Academic Reinforcement, and Family Strengthening—building bridges that transform lives by restoring hope, providing Christ-centered education, and nurturing a personal faith in God.
Led by Local Guatemalan Teachers
We hire local teachers from within the communities where we work and teach, train, and empower them to serve. Our team of Guatemalan teachers teaches, trains, encourages, and inspires students every day.
A Replicable, Family-Preservation Model
Cadaniño's replicable three-pillar model empowers churches and ministries to prevent family separation and transform communities, keeping children in safe, loving homes.
Every Child Matters to God
Cadaniño means 'each' or 'every' child in Spanish. We believe that EACH child is important to God and EVERY child matters.
