3$ can help supply a child with over the counter pain relievers and fever reducers.

10$

10$ can provide symptom relief of the upper respiratory tract. Most indigenous and poor people cook over open fires; cities are laden with pollution and dirt, often causing chronic upper respiratory symptoms such as chronic coughs.

25$

The cost for one Diabetic Management System. Diabetes diagnosis is on the rise in Guatemala, with some public health studies estimating a prevalence of 8% of the population. This number will continue to rise with more early diagnosis. For 25$ you can supply a patient with a glucose monitor and some diabetic medications.

30$

A bottle containing 1000 vitamins. This can supply a child or an adult with a few years' worth of vitamins in a time where malnutrition only becomes more rampant. A recent study conducted in Guatemala by World Vision revealed that boys who received highly nutritious food supplements from birth to up to two years of age earn an estimated US$0.67 per hour more than more disadvantaged peers - an average wage increase of 46 per cent. According to the World Bank, eliminating childhood anemia in the worst-affected countries can result in a five to seven per cent increase in adult productivity, which in turn can nudge GDP up by two per cent.
