GUATEMALA VILLAGE HEALTH Information

Welcome to Guatemala Village Health (GVH)! Our mission centers around elevating individual and village well-being in rural Guatemala. Through education, local leadership empowerment, and healthcare provider development, we're fostering positive change. Our dedicated team of U.S. medical professionals, students, and teachers visits these villages biannually, providing crucial clinical care, medication, birth control, vitamins, and dental services. Our approach hinges on collaboration with the Guatemalan Ministry of Health as well as with village leaders and health promoters, driving programs like composting toilets, water filters, and stress reduction education. We're committed to fostering self-sufficiency within these communities by nurturing sustainable partnerships and training locals to manage programs tailored to their needs. Guided by the United Nations development goals, we strategically focus on addressing key requirements in the indigenous communities we serve. Join us in our journey towards lasting health improvements!
