We aim to contribute to the construction of a just and inclusive society by facilitating processes that enable and promote the empowerment of people with disabilities, their families, and their community to advocate for, demand, and fully exercise their rights.
Partner for Surgery serves with the goal to improve health, empower communities, and overcome barriers. We are on the front lines of medical and surgical care in rural Guatemala focusing on bringing quality health care and surgical solutions to where most impoverished Guatemalans live. Our service model allows us to bridge language, distance, and cultural barriers. And our health promoters, staff, volunteers, and donors all partner to ensure our programs secure the solution each patient needs, from the time we meet them in their communities until we return home with them after surgery.
FUNDAECO is a Guatemalan organization established in 1990 and dedicated to nature conservation and the promotion of sustainable community development. In a context of high vulnerability to climate change, we seek to protect natural ecosystems and the environmental services they provide, as well as to promote the sustainable development of poor and vulnerable communities in regions of high biodiversity.
