ABOUT LA ALIANZA GUATEMALA

Founded in 1981, Casa Alianza Guatemala is known today as La Alianza Guatemala (ALA). ALA cares and protects girls and teenagers ages 12-18 who are victims of trafficking and sexual violence. The average number of residents are 50-60 girls, teenagers, and their babies. Our residence is the only 24-hour shelter of its kind in Guatemala, dedicated to trafficked and exploited girls and plays a vital role in modeling the kind of comprehensive services that are necessary to meet the physical and emotional needs of these resilient girls.
