Our Mission
Shared Beat is a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization. Our mission is to empower children and their families through health & wellness care and education so they can achieve self reliance and a positive future.
What We Do Differently
Shared Beat has a committment to create local healthcare capacity in communities. We provide year round continuity and support from a humanitarian perspective and are good stewards of resources to ensure sustainability.
Focus Area: Guatemala
Why Guatemala?
-Guatemala has the highest child & maternal death rate in Central America- 6 times that of the United States.
-The literacy rate is 17- 50%, depending upon the area.
-There are 900,000+ child laborers who generate 20% of the countries GDP.
-The general lack of healthcare and clean water.
-Daily pay is $3.00 to $4.00 per day with an annual salary of around $2000.
The proper aim of giving is to put the recipients in a state
where they no longer need our gifts.
