Directorio Guatemala

The idea of creating ONGVoluntariado arose from our own experiences as volunteers. More than 6 years ago, two colleagues started collaborations as international partners in different projects in countries in Central America, Africa, and India. We want to provide information, security and trust to international volunteers, as well as continuous follow-ups throughout the volunteering process.

We are an association that is apolitical and non-governmental that aims to provide medical, educational, spiritual, moral and social assistance to every person of limited resources, orphaned or abandoned. We provide medical consultations, perform specialized surgeries and help people find permanent homes in Guatemala. We exceed the expectation of the sick and the neediest we serve, but also of the volunteers who collaborate with us, and with the doctors and professionals, benefactors and the government that work alongside us. Our shared aim is developing a sustainable project with transparent management. Through our work we seek to transform the lives of those who come into contact with us.
