Empowering Kids in Guatemala

At Simple Germany, our mission goes beyond empowering internationals to settle into life in Germany. We also want to pay it forward by empowering kids in Guatemala (Jen’s home country) through education.

How It All Started

When we reached 25,000 subscribers on YouTube, we did a fundraiser selling t-shirts and donated the profits to an NGO called Safe Passage. Safe Passage is in Guatemala City — Jen’s hometown.

The Results

With the support of our community, we sold 140 T-shirts and donated US$1.500 to Safe Passage!
