Mar 19 Hermano Pedro Hospital—Guatemala City

A place unlike any other.

Hermano Pedro is a volunteer-based hospital that is the home for hundreds of abandoned children and adults. They provide day surgery, dental care, nutritional support, and drug addiction/alcohol rehabilitation programs to the underserved population in the area and operate on very minimal funds.

Always eager to do our part to help keep children warm and cozy, KicKee donated our extremely soft and snuggly clothing, blankets and essential items to aid the hospital in their very important services and outreach. We know they need all the extra help they can get and we are always happy to give.

Hermano Pedro Hospital

Hermano Pedro Hospital is managed by Franciscan Friars and serves as a care center and home for the elderly and orphaned, the mentally challenged and chronically ill. Over three hundred people ranging in age from a few days old to over ninety live at Hermano Pedro permanently. It is a place like no other in that it is a multi-service facility that houses a medical and dental clinic, a small basic clinical lab, a pharmacy, a physical therapy department and operating rooms where a variety of surgeries are performed for a nominal cost, or often for free. Used clothing is also sold at minimal cost to the poor and the proceeds provide a little extra income for the hospital.
