The population in Guatemala has doubled in little less than 30 years.
"In the country 39.8 children under 5 years die for every thousand births."(Guatemala News)
"There is 28 percent of unmet need for family planning, lack of access, among other problems." (Guatemala News)
When women are well educated and healthy, the fertility rates decline and this is a problem because most of Guatemala's population has little to no education.
