Numbers of Guatemala

Doing a little bit of research on Guatemala and here is what I found-

-More then 370,000 orphans

-5,000 homeless children on the streets in Guatemala City because of abandonment and poverty

-Chroic malnutrition rate for children under 5 is 50%-4th highest in the world and highest in the region

-53% of population lives in poverty-13% live in extreme poverty

-Illiteracy rates in indigenous women reach almost 60%

-Chroic malnutrition in indigenous areas can reach 70%
