A three-fold approach to sustainable health and wellness
Inspired by the sun - RESOL means "sunlight reflected"
Like sunlight reflecting off surfaces, we are the reflection of countless professionals, volunteers, donors, and humanitarians working together for change.
The sun gives each day continuously. We create programs that benefit communities and individuals for years and generations to come.
The sun is freely given to all without discrimination. We support systems where health and wellness is possible for everyone, regardless of background.
Current programs and future initiatives
Six-month educational programs for women taught by local Guatemalan and foreign healthcare educators. Topics include hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, cooking, wound care, first aid, and women's health.

Active ProgramTraining program to develop local community health workers who can provide ongoing support and education within their own communities.
Future InitiativePartnership with Asociacion Tuik Ruchlew to provide smokeless stoves, improving pulmonary health and reducing indoor air pollution.
Future InitiativeOur current focus is the Chicacao region of southern Guatemala, a beautiful area known for chocolate, coffee, and lush landscapes—but also marked by significant health challenges.
Guatemalans are descendants of the Mayan people, speaking Spanish, Mayan dialects, or both. Rural communities face limited access to healthcare and education, with women typically receiving only 1-2 years of schooling.
Communities often lack basic infrastructure including sewage systems, garbage disposal, and clean water access. Medical clinics can be hours away, making preventive care and emergency treatment difficult to access.
Your support helps us bring sustainable healthcare, education, and hope to communities in Guatemala. Together, we can create lasting change.
