People for Guatemala is an all volunteer organization. Its primary function is to raise and collect funds to support the mission in Guatemala.
We focus on the most vulnerable children by supporting them to break the cycle of poverty and leave this world a little better than we found it. Without being an organization with religious purposes, our work and our actions are inspired by the values of the Gospel and the Mayan culture.
We began in 1998 in Honduras working with an orphanage and building houses after Hurricane Mitch destroyed much of the country. We served in Haiti after the earthquake in 2010. We began serving in Guatemala in 2011.
Since 2009, LWH has nurtured an education ecosystem, connecting green construction, formal education, equitable international volunteerism, and active participation in 21st century problem-solving. Over the last decade, the LWH builders, staff, volunteers, and donors have transformed 550 tons of trash into a fully functioning K-11 school. In 2019, 77 K-6 students, 51 grade 7-11 students, 27 Teachers/Directors, and 9 builders were direct beneficiaries of CETC employment and education.
We are a civil organization of indigenous women of the Mayan culture, we support and work in solidarity with rural development, promoting the empowerment and autonomy of women in the various areas of their daily lives.
We have worked with families, communities and orphanages since 2005 to facilitates volunteer trips to serve for 1 week in Guatemala in the Solola area performing services for low income families & communities including building bunkbeds, playgrounds, homes & drilling wells.
We are an organization authorized and certified to produce and distribute menstrual hygiene products and services in Guatemala, part of the Days for Girls International organization structure. We have reached more than one million women and girls around the world - giving them back days of dignity, health and opportunity through menstrual health solutions and education.
The M Story was created 2020 in Guatemala when a lot of people were suffering because of the pandemic. We are committed to a better future for the people of Guatemala. This is done with efficient projects in the three areas of food supply, health and education. In this way, we support the most disadvantaged people and respond individually to their current needs. The people to be supported are carefully selected by our team so that every single donation is used in the right place. We are constantly developing new solutions and projects so that the needs can be met in the best possible way.
