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.
Casa Materna provides critically needed medical services and education to low-income mothers in San Juan La Laguna and its villages. Our goal is for all women in the area to have a safe, affordable, and accessible place to give birth and thereby decrease maternal and fetal mortality in the region.
We are a non-profit association who work with a human rights based approach facilitating processes for the inclusion of people with disabilities, focusing primarily on women with visual and hearing impairments in the areas of education, health, social, economic empowerment and advocacy. We are using the community-based Inclusive Development strategy. We have been legally constituted in 2017 and our territorial coverage are in the departments of Sololá and Quiche.
