Hug It Forward empowers communities in Guatemala to build "bottle schools". Bottle schools are schools built using plastic soda bottles and other trash. The entire community works together to build bottle schools, kids building their school with their hands and cleaning their village of trash in the process. We have have completed 14 bottle schools in Guatemala in less than two years. We spend 100% of your donation on bottle schools - a separate group of private donors fund the overhead so you don't have to. Because of our efficiency and frugality, we can enable a community to build a bottle school for just $10,000 to $15,000, depending on size and location.
