Educo is a global development cooperation NGO that has been working for more than 25 years in favor of children and in defense of their rights. We work through social projects in which more than 550,000 children and 150,000 adults participate. In Guatemala, we are present in the departments of Quiché, Huehuetenango and Totonicapán. The projection of our coverage area includes the western highlands of Guatemala, in the departments of San Marcos, Quetzaltenango and Sololá.
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.
