We unite language, culture, and science to transform the health of Maya people in rural Guatemala.
Our Vision: Everyone — no matter where they were born or what language they speak — has access to the highest quality health care.
Community Based
At the center of all we do are Maya Community Health Workers, who understand our patients’ cultures and speak their languages.
Research Informed
We develop groundbreaking, practical solutions to close critical gaps in care. This ensures that money and resources are well-spent.
Women Powered
Investing women with power over their lives and bodies is at the core of our work. For that reason, more that 90% of our staff are women.
Since 2007, we have been advancing lasting changes in health care delivery in rural Guatemala so that high quality care is within reach for everyone.
We provide comprehensive care in the communities where our patients live and in the languages that they are most comfortable speaking. Our program areas include child nutrition, women’s health, maternal-child health, and chronic disease.
