Where We Work
Our focus is the Chicacao region of southern Guatemala, where rural communities face significant barriers to healthcare, education, and basic infrastructure.
Guatemala has some of the highest rates of chronic malnutrition, growth stunting, and maternal-infant mortality in Latin America. We work alongside local partners to ensure our programs are culturally grounded and sustainable.
