La Limonada in Guatemala City

Lemonade International is a Raleigh, NC-based 501c3 non-profit community development organization that works to raise awareness and support for Guatemalan leaders to educate and empower people living in the largest urban slum in Central America – La Limonada in Guatemala City.

Founded in 2004 by Raleigh residents, Bill and Cherie Cummings, Lemonade International partners with churches and businesses in the Triangle and around the US who are passionate about alleviating extreme global poverty.

Our community development work includes two schools in La Limonada, impacting the lives of more than 300 children every year, along with a scholarshipprogram, a thriving church community, a vocational training program, a micro-enterprise program, and a safe home, providing a refuge for abandoned, abused and neglected children.

Education, access to quality healthcare and job creation are imperative to providing sustainable solutions for the children and families who call La Limonada home. Lemonade International has big plans for the future. We are committed to expanding into other barrios (neighborhoods) within La Limonada, as well as establishing a vocational training center and a walk-in medical clinic.

Our local partnerships include: Lifepointe Church and Evergreen Community Church.
