Sustainable programs designed for lasting impact through community partnerships and evidence-based practices.
Active initiatives making a difference in the communities we serve.
Participatory health education classes designed to empower women with essential healthcare knowledge.
Our six-month programs are taught by local Guatemalan educators and international healthcare providers. We focus on practical, life-saving skills that participants can use immediately and share with their families.
Partnering with Ecofiltros to provide affordable water filtration and training.
The villages we serve lack access to clean, potable water—water is often contaminated by sewage. We distribute water filters at an affordable, subsidized price with comprehensive training on use and maintenance.
For many participants, this is their first exposure to water filtration. Our training ensures filters are used correctly and maintained properly to provide years of clean water.
Mobile medical clinics bringing healthcare directly to remote communities.
Our medical jornadas (mobile clinics) serve multiple communities in the Chicacao region. Each clinic is staffed by local Guatemalan medical providers and healthcare professionals from the United States.
These clinics provide essential medical care, health screenings, and medications to community members who would otherwise travel hours to access healthcare.
Strengthening midwife education using evidence-based curriculum.
We partner with local ministries of health to strengthen midwife skills using Laerdal's Helping Babies Survive curriculum—an internationally recognized program teaching essential newborn resuscitation techniques.
By training local midwives, we help reduce maternal and infant mortality in communities where hospital births are not always accessible.
Training local community members to serve as health advocates within their villages.
Our community health worker program empowers local residents with the knowledge and skills to serve as first responders and health educators.
These trained volunteers bridge the gap between formal healthcare systems and remote villages, providing basic health assessments, referrals, and health education.
Initiatives we're working to bring to our partner communities.
Strengthening partnerships with existing local clinics to improve sustainable healthcare access and infrastructure.
Teaching community members artisan skills to provide additional income opportunities for their families.
Partnering with Asociacion Tuik Ruchlew to provide smokeless stoves that improve pulmonary health.
