Reflection
The sun's light reflects off many surfaces. We are not one person or entity, but the combined efforts of countless professionals, volunteers, donors, and everyday people both locally and abroad.
About Us
Who We Are
Our name embodies our mission: RESOL means illuminating sunlight.
The Meaning of RESOL
RESOL is a Spanish word that roughly translates to sunlight: specifically, illuminating sunlight reflected off a surface.
The sun holds special symbolism and cultural significance for communities around the world. We derive our values and purpose from what the sun represents.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do.
Sustainability
The sun gives each day, sustaining life continuously. We build programs that benefit communities for years and generations to come.
Equity
The sun is freely given to all. We support systems where health and wellness is possible for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or religion.
Where We Work
Our current area of focus is the Chicacao region of southern Guatemala.
Guatemala is rich in culture, known for its chocolate, coffee, volcanoes, and lush landscapes. Yet it also has some of the highest rates of poverty, chronic malnutrition, and maternal-infant mortality in Latin America.
Rural communities in Chicacao often have limited access to healthcare and education. Community members attend an average of 3-4 years of school, with women typically attending only 1-2 years. Reaching a medical clinic can take hours.
