Future Initiative
Where We Work
Our 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.
