Mision

Mission:

To contribute solutions to the problems which effect the integral development, socially and culturally in communities in rural, semi-urban and urban areas all over Guatemala.

Vision:

In Guatemala there is big separation between urban and rural life. Those in rural areas, most of which are indigenous, are not aware of their rights as humans, rights against violence or rights to a fair wage. Our vision is to provide education and information in the hope to make a difference, and improve the standard of living for these people.
