The Foundation was created in 1996, in the context of the struggle of the survivors of the Rio Negro/Rabinal massacre, to build paths of hope for future generations, especially for the Mayan Achi people.
We are a civil, non-profit organization made up of multidisciplinary professionals and merchants that works together with the rural population in search of comprehensive human development through comprehensive development and social assistance projects.
We are a secular organization with 501(3) status in the United States that works with a legal partner in Guatemala, "Fundacion Par el Desarrollo Comunal" de Huetenenango. We achieve our mission primarily through the management of two quality sustainable schools, teaching aid to outlying villages, an educational farm, and multi-village agricultural training programs.
