Healthy Communities
Exists to provide access to holistic healthcare in rural Guatemalan communities by listening to community leaders, partnering with the local church, and developing long-term partnerships.
Together, we are able to provide water filtration systems, fuel-efficient stoves, dry composting latrines and ongoing care and education through our community health clinic.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for the unjust system that keeps many families in rural communities without access to work or basic healthcare.
Location:
We work in rural villages in the southern part of Guatemala near Coyolate, Suchitepéquez. Coyolate is located about 3 hours from Antigua, Guatemala.
