Why Guatemala

Access to Healthcare
Guatemala has the highest rate of private expenditure in order to access healthcare than any other Latin American country. This statistic is reflected in the fact that poor, rural Guatemalans must pay cash in order to receive the most basic of health care needs.

We can make a difference
To provide medical care to developing countries requires many hands. Medicine, supplies, and translators all cost money. We've got many successes under our belt, but we need more help, and that's where you come in. There's so much you can do to help out!
