Don’t Just See the World
CHANGE IT.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to create a connection between volunteers and the local indigenous people of Guatemala, while providing sustainable solutions that empower individuals and communities in need.
We aspire to build a world where cultural differences are celebrated, and communities have access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Through our efforts in Guatemala, we aim to inspire a global movement of compassionate individuals working towards a more just and equitable world.

A unique and meaningful opportunity for volunteers who seek to make a lasting impact on the lives of the indigenous people of Guatemala. Our purpose is to bridge the cultural gap between volunteers and locals, while uplifting individuals and communities in need.
We groups of volunteers to a small underdeveloped village on the bank of Lake Atitlan. During this trip, volunteers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture and work alongside community members on various humanitarian projects.
-
Our projects are based on the specific needs of the community, and depending on the trip, may include initiatives such as building schools, providing access to clean water, or supporting local entrepreneurs. Through these projects, volunteers not only make a difference in the lives of others, but also gain a deep understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized communities in Guatemala.

Lifting Jaibalito
Throughout the year, we work with companies and communities in remote villages outside of Guatemala City. However, the highlight of our efforts is the Guatemala Experience, where we take a group of volunteers to a small underdeveloped village on the bank of Lake Atitlan. During this trip, volunteers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture and work alongside community members on various humanitarian projects.

Anadesa Learning Center
Anadesa is a small undeveloped learning center in the nearby town of Santiago. With only two large rooms, holding students ages 8-18 years of age, the teachers have a hard time providing a necessary learning environment. They have many needs and necessary renovations volunteers will take part in.
Learning Center Projects
They’re needs range from WiFi integration to classroom renovations. Volunteers will be helping with technology, building/painting, even teaching English and educational classes.
It’s time to make a difference!
