OUR VISION

We dream of a healthier, happier, more prosperous Guatemala.

WHAT WE DO

We are a Guatemalan-American non-profit foundation leveraging education + business to empower the native people of Guatemala.

Join Our Movement

We remain steadfast in our commitment to Guatemala’s prosperity. These four core pillars serve as our guiding principles, ensuring unity and focus throughout our organization.

Resist
Oppression

Racial, economic, and social oppression are still prevalent in modern day Guatemala. It is time to break these ancient chains of oppression.

Conserve and Preserve

As we advance with technology and grow as a society we want to be mindful to conserve and preserve our culture and natural environment.

Build
Tools

The right tools, and skills can mean the advantage that facilitates equal rights and opportunities.

Pave
Paths

Leveraging the right partners, investments, and social businesses is how we create opportunities to a better tomorrow.
