Greetings!

Looking back proves that people really do care about others.

Thanks to your support our two health clinics are open and logged 1,435 patient visits so far this year. Supporting our 105 scholarship students with laptops, internet, and tutoring is enhancing their learning experience. Forty five families have safe, vented Chapina stoves, 15 women are attending Reproductive Health classes. Our Learning and Skills Center is open and 140 adults are learning new skills so they can earn an income. Good is happening despite the continued issues with the pandemic.

Your confidence in us and in our team in Guatemala allows us to reach more families in more communities. Together we can help alleviate the daily struggle poverty causes. We can turn despair into hope and hope into potential.

It's not easy but it is amazing.

With deep appreciation,

Lois & Ken Werner

Thank you for changing lives
and saving lives in remote villages
People can't choose when to get sick and they do not have
money to seek medical care at private clinics and buy medicine.
That is why our services are vital in rural villages, especially
now because transportation in rural San Martin is sparse and not reliable.

Families lack food and there are no jobs.
Moms worry about how to care for their children.

Our health teams provide patients the care and
support they need to recover and remain healthy.

 clinic before treating her for an upper respiratory infection.

TAKING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
EDUCATION TO RURAL VILLAGES

Women attending our classes never had the chance to learn about their bodies. Eileen Ranscht, a professional sexologist, teaches them about their rights, gender equality, family planning information and methods, and how to talk to their children or their partner about it.

Our workshops aim to break the silence and empower families by providing the necessary tools and information to initiate and maintain an adequate dialogue with their sons and daughters and educate them about sexuality based on certainties and correct information and not on fears and stereotypes.

Sara said "My parents didn't talk to me and I don't know how to talk to my children. I'm worried because I don't know the right information. Eileen is teaching me things I never heard before."
We know you believe in our work and we have a common goal.
We know you care.

OUR MISSION is to promote human advancement through health, education, and community development initiatives in Guatemala.

OUR GOAL is to affect long-term change in families and entire communities.

OUR VISION is that one day all children will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education, all families will be healthy, and all communities will thrive in rural Guatemala.
YOU CAN CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE.
