Tebow Down Guatemala
Tebow Down Guatemala, a ministry of the Tim Tebow Foundation, provides holistic education and resources to children with developmental disabilities in Guatemala and their families. In countries all over the globe like Guatemala, children with disabilities are often neglected and seen as cursed or worthless. There are even instances where children with special needs are locked away to be kept hidden so as not to bring shame to their families. In these regions, there is often a severe lack of resources, education, and support for families to provide for their needs and help them grow. Tebow Down Guatemala steps in to help fill this overwhelming need.
"I'm Sorry"
Breaking Barriers: The story of Alfredo Jr. that paved the way to Tebow Down Guatemala
Alfredo and Irene didn't expect to hear these words when they first introduced their precious baby boy to their community. For a moment, the joy they felt for the miracle of their baby boy was overshadowed by their community's distressing response to learning their son had Down syndrome.
The Salazar’s were not deterred.
"We wanted to do something not just for Alfredo Jr., but for all those children we've been seeing in hospitals and different places. We wanted the best for all of them. That's why we have staff that doesn't just do a job, they love these children. You can tell they love them," shared Alfredo. "The programs provided by Tebow Down Guatemala bring hope and a future, not just for the students but for their families, as well. They will be able to see a different future for their children."

Ekisa Ministries
In Uganda, 8 percent of their residents live with disabilities, and over half of that population are children. Those children are often seen as outcasts by their community. Because of this viewpoint and stigma, many of these precious children are at risk of being orphaned, abandoned, and trafficked. The Tim Tebow Foundation walks alongside Ekisa Ministries to help change the narrative of children with special needs in Uganda. Our hope and prayer is for every child to grow up in a loving, healthy family equipped to provide them with the support they need to thrive.
Isolated: Now Thriving
Meet Elvis! Once isolated because of disability; now thriving in a community.
There was much excitement in Elvis’ household as a precious boy was welcomed into the family. However, as time passed, his mother, Mariam, noticed that Elvis struggled to crawl, couldn't stand with support, and was burdened by frequent convulsions.
Filled with worry and questions, Mariam was unsure about how she would navigate raising a child with disabilities. A village healthcare worker recognized Elvis’ need for specialized care and introduced them to Ekisa Tebow Community Care Center.
Through TTF’s Ministry Partner Ekisa Ministries, Elvis is receiving personalized support from their team. More than just medical help, the center offers a supportive community and compassionate care, paving the way for Elvis and his mother to thrive.
Together, we can be a community of hope, bringing lasting impact to children like Elvis and their families. No one should have to experience isolation because of their disability.
